Okay, sounds good!

Thank you both for your help. Yes, I totally agree, there is alot of research to be done. During the last year or so I have poured over Old Calabrian historical book websites and am very interested in the Campolongo Barons that hailed from Normandy. This is the first time I have had any ...

Has anyone heard of the name Tortora Brayda? My father's cousin in Naples told me in a letter that my great-great grandparent was "marchese di Tortora Brayda dei Duchi di San Donato".

Hi all,
I just received my Grandfather's naturalization records from NYC. It tells me that he came over in Nov. of 1905 and arrived in Dec. of 1905, coming over on the Steamship Slavonia. I have looked and looked for his ship record, finding alot of Giovanni Campolongo's but none with his proper age ...

I am looking for 1675 Madison St. Brooklyn NY in the 1930 census. I have tried to look up the enumeration district but with no success. I am looking up the last name Russo who lived there is 1929 from what I can tell from a ship passenger record.

Thanks so much! That is perfect.

Hey Nuccia!
I just sent out a request to Avellino, Italy for info on my Grandmother Antonetta Guarini. I am crossing my fingers! This is the first time I have ventured outside the US and internet for info. Wish me luck!

Hi Nuccia,
I found the addresses I needed for Avellino and some sample letters in Italian to request documents. I think it will be better to use than a Free Translation Website like I sent you.
Thanks anyway,
Rita

Nuccia,
Does this sound right to you?
