Some new info regarding my grandfather, Tony Rinella. I still have not found anything on his parents, but I do know they were from Corleone. I don't think they ever came over to America though. How can I obtain information regarding his parents?
Thanks all!

Re: Rinella-Scalia
You could go to your nearest Family History CenterSome new info regarding my grandfather, Tony Rinella.
I still have not found anything on his parents, but I do know they were from Corleone.
I don't think they ever came over to America though.
How can I obtain information regarding his parents?
to order and view the microfilms for Corleone and/or
Termini Imerese.
Finding the correct family in the correct town-
A problem could be the number of Antonio Rinella’s
born in 1891...
Antonio’s WWII Draft Registration Card & Naturalization
document do list his birthdate as 19 May 1891
1942 Card
Also, the Rinella family naturalization documents
Summit County Naturalizations
list Antonio's birthplace as Termini Imerese

Also, where did you find a copy of the draft card? That would be interesting to add to my books.

Re: Rinella-Scalia
Oh my, I thought you had it already.
It's from ancestry.com.
I'll post the second page in a bit - not much
on it, but nice to have.
I'll see if I can reduce both sides so it will print ok.

Re: Rinella-Scalia
Thanks for giving me that. I don't have a membership for ancestry.com. Its kind of expensive for me right now.
