[quote="antonius2987"]I am aware that he was born in Vittorio; Wecper is given as his last permanent residence before returning to the US. It's really just curiousity on my part as to why he was in Germany; I thought if I could at least find the city's location that would be a start.[/quote]
Dear ...

For all who are interested in italian emigration to germany in the early 20th century: The exhibition which we realized with the help of some of this forum members in the last year is now on display in Italy. All texts have been translated to the italian language.
For further information please look ...

Great work suanj, I am fascinated what you are doing with such a few, often heavily misspelled informations. Thanks so much for your effort.
One question is open to me: what is JORCA - JARCA ?
Comes this word from a special northern italian dialect and describes it the region of Torino? We have a ...

Thanks suanj for the help and advise,

Argua - Pragenca ?= ArquàPetrarca ( Padova )?
Piaccuzo (npa) ?=Piacenza ?

Piacenza is right - so far as we can ...

Many thanks for all the help we received by Posters in this forum.

If somebody is interested in italian immigrants to the Ruhr-Area in the years 1827 to 1920, please don't hesitate to ...

We have about 1.400 records for coal miners (1872 to 1920) and most of them we could locate somewhere in Northern ...

Thanks Peter for this hint, but this is ...

Tank You, TBottegal
Fonzaso (BL) could be right - the surname of the miners (Angelo Pellin,*21.04.1887, Antonio Pellin, *24.10.1887 ) is frequent in this town but missing in Bellino(CN),Piemonte.

During research for an exhibition about italian immigrants to the Ruhr-Area (Germany) in the late 1800s and early 1900s, we encounterd a list of unknown localities in probably northern Italy.
Any help to identify the correct names would be much appreciated.
We currently use the locality database of ...
