Re: Best Websites

Re: Best Websites

I just sent out a dozen letters to potential relatives in Muro Lucano. I hope I hear something back in the next couple of weeks. I will keep everyone posted.
This weekend I am going to dive head first into this and try and dig up more info. Wish me luck!

Re: Best Websites

What about someone who lives in the US? Is it still a good idea? I guess the worst thing that would happen is that they dont reply. :lol: How do I start to look for deeds or homeowners papers? I found that two of my relatives both purchased their homes and one owned his own business. Would I check t...

Re: Best Websites

Another question: What are peoples feelings on sending out random letters to possible relatives? Just a letter stating who you are, what you are doing and what/who you are looking for. Is that a good idea or not? I have been contemplating this idea for some time now and I just cant decide. I dont wa...

Re: Best Websites

Peter--You are probably right. I guess I just need to start researching and see what I find. Does anyone have any tips, tricks, or secrets to share with a newbie or according to my status, I am now a ROOKIE. I am heading to my local LDS library to see what I can uncover. I will keep you posted. Wish...

Re: Best Websites

Thank you all for your input. I will put it to good use. Another question that I have is how do you seperate the facts from fiction? I know misspellings are very common, but dates, names, ages, family. That is where I keep running into the walls. Even on some papers you will see what you think is th...

Re: Best Websites

At this point, , just anything to really get me started. I think I have a good start, thanks to a few of you here, but I need to dig alittle deeper. The main state that is going to give me trouble is Pennsylvania. Once my gggrandfather arrived in the US, him and his family settled in Penn. I think t...
