Dear Possum,
I suggest you to give us more details.
As you know last name Smith is not Italian, so we have not idea in what part of Italy he was from; check his naturalization record, ship manifest, marriage record, passport....maybe you find something,
good luck and let us know, bye Riccardo

Hi possum, in Italy are the Smith and Jones people, but they are descendants of foreign people.... as already ricbru say you, is necessary more details, regards, suanj

The LDS Church (Mormans) have many films of records for both Australia
& NZ. You may find some that help you. Here is their link...just do a "place search," then click on "title" of interest & continue.
