Did your family happen to come to DE to work for the DuPont's? Many came at that time because the DuPont family employed them for both horticulture as well as...

is this maybe an immigration or quarantine badge?

Hello all, One of my family members has this from one of our ancestors, and I'm trying to narrow down exactly what it is. It is suspected that it is an ID badge from an employer, but I'm wondering if might be more than that. I could be wrong though- it may be nothing more than the employer badge. An...

All, I'm hoping someone here can help me. I have a relative from my Italian lineage whose family moved to Buenos Aires some time in the past.

new song from Francesca Battistelli

Darn, I am guessing this church does not have any intricate details that make it stand out. :(

Thank you for your help! Now if anyone happens to recognize the church, that would be wonderful. I've been doing some searches on my own but have not yet found it.

It would probably be located in the Piemonte and-or Liguria regions, and I was wondering if anyone might be interested in taking a look to see if they could help identify it? The photo appears t...

I'm a grown man and have many times teared up during new discoveries. One that still eats at me to this day is my grandfat...
