Spent a day at the latter day saints church researching. Tried every Virginia around her year of birth in the 1920 USA census, none matched.

Re: Ferla from Sortino, Sicily
Tried Gens Italia, and as I should have expected its all in Italian. Told you I was a bit thick!
Need to take some Italian lessons, and will try again.
Is there a translation button on the page?
Cheers,
