Re: Birth Information from a Comune

I have written to a commune several times and received responses. I recommend sending 5 Euros with your request. To keep the money from being robbed, get 2 plain white security envelopes and place one inside the other. This makes a double hard to see through envelope. Wrap the money in a piece of al...

Re: Has anyone pursued Italian Citzenship from Canada?

Thanks for the feedback. A big problem is that rather than using Greco, the family continued to use Ross. So my GG Grandfather was Rosario Greco/George Ross Then his son my G Grandfather was born Phillip Antonio Greco but his marriage record says Phillip Anthony Ross as does his death record. From t...

Re: Tracking Down an Old Passport

Thanks. I checked ancestry - what I am looking for is Rosario's Italian passport. I did a check with the US government and there are no citizenship files for Rosario Greco/George Ross (that match the information I have on him) so it is unlikely he ever applied for a US passport. I do not think he be...
