In another thread, we discussed where Poderuccio is. We learned that it is 4.5 km from Siena and the civil records should be in Siena since it such a tiny place.
Tonight I tried to search paginebianche.it for Poderuccio and my surname and it said this:
Nessun risultato trovato in Poderuccio frazione di Sorano.
Vuoi cercare nel Comune di Sorano?
All I key'd in was Poderuccio and my surname. It is quite a bit away from Sorano to be a frazione, I would think. So where did this Sorano thing come from?
Does anyone have an explanation for this, perhaps?
My people listed Sorano as their hometown on their manifests. But it looked like they were from small towns around it, with the Sorano civil office still holding the records, however. Then this Poderuccio connection recently came up - and now this result from Paginebianche. Geographically it is by Siena--for sure. But what do you make of this Sorano information from paginebianche? Any ideas?
Thanks for help.

The municipal administration for Poderuccio is listed for Siena under "frazione' while Sorano does not indicate any municipal jurisdiction for Poderuccio.
The telephone company, however, pursuant to what you say is adminstratively at odds with that of the Municipality of Siena (not the province of Siena). I have no explanation for you save to say that the facts indicate an adminstrative inconsistency between Siena and Sorano. It is a town and telephone distinction.
I am at a loss to further explain this organizational contrast. =Peter=
It looks like there is a tiny place, smaller than a hamlet, probably just a few houses or a farm, called Podere Poderuccio which is under the jurisdiction of Sorano (province of Grosseto). You can see it here, go to page 4 on the third line
The Pagine Bianche search engine is based on what's written on the Telephone Book. A subscriber might decide to leave out the name of the hamlet and only indicate the street. People are listed according to towns and not according to hamlets so you should insert Siena or Sorano or Toscana. This last one will give you a list of people (and their addresses) with your surname in that region.
I have acrobat. I restarted the computer and it was fine. Thank you for showing that to me. Thus, it looks like I am back to attempting to get documents from Sorano,,,,,, but they ignore my requests. I even had an Italian, someone who is a well-known Toscana history authority and university professor, call the comune on my behalf, and they say they are too busy with the living. I will get what I need one way or another!
Thanks again.

Dear Donna you started with inquiry regarding the ships manifest. It might be helpful to know that ships manifests were prepared by the Shipping Line ticket issuing agency based upon documentationand verbal communication presented to the agency by the passengers.
Off the top of my head and not knowing dates and things if they obtained a passport they would have had to obtain it from the Questura in Siena. Questura records are not made public but they will entertain written inquiry about their application for a passport which you might be able to use to your advantage.=Peter=
After thought: La Questura di Siena is located at via del castoro 6, 53100 Siena Toscana, Italy
You can send direct inquiry about your parents passport appliction (I would send it in english seeking what you want) to www.poliziadistato.it/scrivici The form has a place for a message and under "comune" put in ESTERO= foreign. =Peter=
One of the most fun things that I discovered in my research was finding my look alike ancestor, Prince Marino Caracciolo II. Don Marino descends from the Caracciolo Rossi family, one of the oldest families in Naples, that date back to 950 AD. He was born in Atripalda on 9-6-1587 and died in Naples o...
