Re: Searching for help in ITALY

Not enough details to go on. Was he born in 1850 or 1930? You have to narrow it down. The records are too large to search on the name alone.

Chi e che fa

What does this mean? Not the words, but how and why are they used?

I thought it read Varsalona, but I have never heard that surname before.
