Help Identifying Parents of a Foundling Ancestor

Post by aaronll1 »

Hello all,

I'm just wondering if there's a search angel here who might be willing to try to help me identify the parents (or at least the family), of a foundling ancestor of mine.

I'm trying to trace my direct maternal line as far back as I can, but I've hit a road block at my 5x Great Grandmother, who was likely a foundling. Her vital records list her as "Emmanuela Di Parenti Ignoti". She was born in Santa Margherita di Belice, Sicily.

I had another search angel who tried to help me by looking through my mom's ancestry DNA matches family trees. He was able to rule out most of them, since he could figure out how I was related to them through other ancestors of mine, but there were a few left whose trees indicated ancestry near Santa Margherita di Belice and who he could not find any other way they might be related to me, so it's possible these are relatives of the biological family of my foundling ancestors, but he decided to give up the search.

I'm just wondering if there's a search angel here who might be willing to help me resume my search, please let me know below.

They were related to me through other relatives, but just a few remained whose branches showed forebears
