There is a website covering 1700's tax registries which in Italian are Catasti Onciari ( do not wish to overlook the obvious) and since you have many names you can run this "name check" thru for any possible connection for that early period. www.onciari.net. Peter

I tried to go to that site and nothing came up. Any suggestions?
I just confirmed it again www.onciari.net. it is in Italian and if a name comnes up you can click for further breakdown under "sommario". i do know that these lists are houses in a library in Naples and often require a personal looksee since correspondence is difficult from what I just read. Peter
Hi James. I was wondering if your adoptive family had any relation to Elizabeth Bianco from Quadrelle Provincia di Avellino Regione Campania? This is my great grandmother

Hi Peter, can get to the site but seems not to work. Probably not doing it right.

It's said Italy was a country of Saints, poets and navigators. There's no more trace of the poets and navigators but, fortunately, there are traces of the Saints. All the Italian towns are voted to a Saint and one of these is San Gennaro, well-known for his miracle. Who was San Gennaro? San Gennaro ...
