I believe they are digitizing them now! I can't wait for this. They don't give a specific timeline but hopefully they will be released soon!

Re: Is my BF lieing? (pics)

I have a cousin who is 100% Italian, and she has red hair and blue eyes, and very light skinned with freckles. She has a sister and three brothers and all of them have dark hair and dark eyes. She is the only one in the family with this, so when her mother (my aunt) used to visit Italy she used to ...

Morda Surname

Good morning everyone,

I would like to find out more about the surname Morda, which is my surname as well. I find that most of the other sides of my family have very common italian surnames (Rossini, Calabrese, and Spano).

I have found a few relatives so far, but I don't think they can go much ...

Re: Scarfone's From Reggio Calabria

I am related to some Scarfone's in Canada.

Although none of my family has figured out how exactly. I am told we might be as distant as 5th cousins.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like to learn more.

My great-grandfather was Augustine Rossini. He was born and married in or near the Pesaro region of Italy. He married Eliza Siepi. He was born (I believe) in 1879. He died in 1931. I'm going to assume they got married about 1909, and came to Canada in 1912 ...
