I still am going crazy over this! I wrote to Pietraperzia, and they finally got back to me saying they could find no relevant records....I'm certain I have found my great grandfather's manifest and also my great great grandfather' but the town of origin do not match

my dad is from Roccasicura, the next town over from Carovilli. I just got back from a 2 week stay there had I read your message earlier I would have done some research for you (alas there was no internet in the town !!!). Anyways I know that in la Rocca there is a bar with the name Scarpitti ...

when I was little I thought it was so boring to be "100 percent Italian" (Dad was born in Molise and all my great grandparents on my maternal side were from Sicily and Puglia)....I used to pretend I was half Swedish, etc, so strange of me! Now I think it's really cool to be all italiana!! ...I can ...

I finally have my beautiful Italian passport in my hands!
I had my appointment in October 2011 at the Boston Consulate.
By December I had been notified by my comune that I had been added to the AIRE and the Boston Consulate then requested a nulla osta from the Questura della provincia di Foggia ...

thanks again for posting that manifest....did you find it from the ellis island website? for some reason, I was trying to find it via the ellis island website but could not come up with anything! so strange.

thank you so much for your efforts into this research! Romano is such a common last name....
I will pursue a search in the Pietraperzia civil records! vi ringrazio : )

ciao suanj! grazie per l'aiuto.....I'm so happy to see these names because I definitely think this is my family : )
so does this suggest that the Romanos lived in Pietraperzia and then moved to Misilmeri? grazie di cuore!

Hello! Could you all please help me...I am trying to research my family heritage on my mother's side.
I know that my great grandfather was named Giuseppe Di Natale (from Sicily) and his wife was Gaetana Bordonaro (from Pietraperzia)...the both moved to Boston in the early 1900s and were married here ...

salve! I am doing some research for my aunt's family tree. I came across the ship manifest of her great great grandfather (late 1880s) has him coming from "Tonedio Pattori" in the Teramo province of Abruzzo....I can not find anything online suggesting that this place exists now/ever exists. Does ...

so a couple of weeks after I was added to my comune's AIRE, the Boston consulate sent me and my mother's information to la questura della Provincia di Foggia. 2 and a half weeks later the Consulate called and said we could come in at any time to take care of our Italian passports!!! such a dream! We ...

salve! I have been added to my comune's AIRE.....however I do not have a copy of my birth certificate from them. Does anyone know if the Boston consulate requires a copy of your "Italian birth certificate" when applying for your Italian passport? Thank you! This dual citizenship journey is such an ...

hello all ! My story is long and boring, so I will spare you the details of it all...when it comes down to it, after everyone told me NO, you can't get citizenship, I just steamrolled ahead and found out that yes, I could (not through my Italian born father, but through a great grandfather on my mom ...

Grazie mille!!! This is very helpful!!! I think the first set of information is what we were looking for!! Saluti da Amherst!!

Antonio's father was named ...
