Hi Marco,
The information I am looking for is about a "Contessa" named Maria Teresa Sidoli. From the few websites I have found,the small bit of information I have gotten is that she left the castle to the seminary. It was passed to her because someone's male line was extinct. I can't seem to find ...

The seminary has something to do with Travazzano Castle.

I'm trying to find out more information on the Episcopal Seminary of Bedonia. I haven't had much luck online. They do have a website, but I need more information on the history,in particular a female relative that left the castle to the diocese. I have emailed he seminary and haven't (yet) gotten a ...

Thanks so much for your quick reply..I am so new to this research that I have no idea what to do with the LDS records,other than go to my local family history center to view them. Some of the Cestellis you listed are most certainly my relatives. (Gotta love the Ellis Island site!) I know for a fact ...

Looking for any info (or relatives). The Sidolis are from Bedonia,Parma. My G Grandfather came to the U.S. through Ellis Island in 1909. Ended up in coal mine in Pennsylvania. Cestelli-I am not so sure about. Some members of my family are saying that this is a name given to an illegitimate relative ...
