Wow! You are right, this seems like it's probably the right one! A few of the details are off, so maybe a neighbor or one of the kids is the one who gave the answers, but the rest seems spot on.

LASCO! I never would have thought of that in a million years. THANK YOU!

Thanks everyone! Here's what I have -- 1920 Census, Appanoose County, Iowa. Head of Household Louis Sacco (35), married to Louise (33)Sacco, children Guilda (9), Pete (6), Fannie (3). All were born in Italy except Fannie, who was born in Iowa. Note that Guilda is really supposed to be Gilda, short ...

I was able to find my Sacco family in the 1920 Census, but not the 1930 Census. :? I've checked all the places they lived (IA, PA, NY), different name spellings, etc., but no luck. Anybody have tips on what else I might try? I've been looking at Ancestry.com. Is there a better place to try? All ...

Thanks, Suanj! I don't know why, in our family everything has to be a big secret When I get more information I will contact you for help!

So nice to hear about a happy ending. I think I need to do a little more leg work before I hire someone. The marriage record for my great-grandmother lists her town of birth but her parents are listed as 'Ignoti' (unknown), even though I know that's not true, and I have several different versions of ...

I would say it depends on what you want to do/see while you are there. You might check when the Easter holidays are next year -- some things might be closed during that time, but on the other hand you could run into wonderful celebrations. In my book, there is NO bad time to see Italy! The last time ...

Thanks for the ideas! :) From my vague translation of the archive info, it looks as if Domodossola is a repository for records from many of the smaller towns surrounding it, so I think what I need will be there. Guess I'll get started on contacting the archives directly. Maybe they will know of a ...

I'm trying to figure out if there are any microfilms for records from the town of Domodossola (Piedmont/Verbano-Cusio-Ossola Province). There is no listing in LDS online catalog; the town has a website that has a page regading their historic archives which (from what I can decipher) seem pretty ...

Is there any significance to someone having an unusual number of given names? Just found great grandpa's birth record, and his name takes up 2 lines in the index! Luigi Martino Ambrogio Giovanni Battista Sacco. His father's name was Giovanni Battista Sacco, so I get where that part comes from. But ...

Hi! I live in L.A., so if you are able to come up with more specific information I'd be happy to help with local documents once you know what you need.
