Re: Info from VARNI passport?

So what you are saying is that there really is no place to go from here because they didn't keep records for foundlings?

Re: Info from VARNI passport?

Wow, so many years have gone by and nothing has changed. I am still at a loss trying to find information about my great grandfather, Carlo Varni. I am hoping, with the advancement of digital records, that some day soon I will find what I am looking for. Until then, I still appreciate any help or ins...

See if you can find a later census. I actually had no luck finding immigration info in the US 1910 census but found it in the 1920 and 1930. I don't know what other census' there were in London, but check ahead in years and maybe you'll find the info there.

Suanj, Here is the letter I have written. Please tell me if this is OK... Egregi Signori: Ho acquistato una copia del passaporto de mio bisnonno, pubblicata in 1911 in Torino, di cui ho incluso una copia. Sto facendo la ricerca in genealogy e vorrei ricevere una copia della sua domanda di passaporto...

I checked the Ellis Island records and the one for Albina may be her. The ones for Domenico were't him though, the ages didn't match up. He was born in 1872 and both of these men were too young. Will keep looking, thank you!

Thank you so much Suanj! I had found emmigration of Domenico in the Ellis Island records, but never Albina. That is most assuredly her, the name is uncommon. I will have to pull up the record from here. As for the passport, that's great news and what I had hoped. I know that here in the US paperwork...

Thank you for all your help, Peter. After reading the article on orphans and adoptees, I'm thinking that finding his birth record may be impossible depending on what the circumstance of his birth was. I just assumed that since a passport was a federal item that they would be able to locate the origi...

When you say what should be isn't, what are you referring to? Also, digging through my paperwork, I found a "Tribunale di Torino - Casellario Giudiziario" which I am assuming he had to file to prove he wasn't a criminal before he left the country. Under parents it says "D'agnoti"...

Info from VARNI passport?

First of all, let me say what a terrific site this is. I have been longing for an in-depth italian site with forums and this one is great. My issue is that I have been researching my g-grandfather for about 5 yrs now with no success, which is odd because I have practically every form of paperwork I ...
