Looking for Italian ancestors from Roseto Valloforte

[tledonne]

Hi there I am new to this and I just tried posting but cannot find it so I'm trying again.
I am looking for my ancestors and hoping I will find them through this venue.

My family in Roseto PA is from Roseto Italy, My grandfather's name was Anthony and his mother Luccia LeDonne came to Roseto PA and started a bakery.

My Rosetan grandmother (Nunzia) came from the Zito family and I have more information on them

The following Zito family came to Roseto , Pa. from Roseto Valfortore’ Italy in the province of Foggia , Region Puglia ( Apulia , Apulien). They members of Our Lady of Mt.

The current Italian telephone directory lists just one Zito in the tiny comune of Roseto Valfortore (population about 1,300). See http://www.paginebianche.it/execute.cgi ... &td=2&l=en

You may want to try contacting this person by writing in Italian and see what turns up. Correct the address by formating it like this:

Via Fontana, 8
71039 Roseto Valfortore FG
