Re: How far back can line go for Italian citizenship?

They were unable to match my ancestor with any naturalization record in the NA, and I was advised to contact the county clerk of the county in which he lived, which would be Onondaga county, New York in this case, and also USC...

Re: looking for maiden name of my grandmother

Hi: Why don't you request a copy of your grandmother's NY death certificate? It will list both her parents names. Not entirely reliable.

Re: Italian Province

The Google translator considers Gregono to be the Latin form of Gregory. https://translate.google.com/#la/en/gregono Also, at the Ellis Island site I found a number of passengers arriving from "S. Gregono M." on a single manifest. Unfortunately, the link to the actual manifest page appears...

Re: Italian Province

It would help if we knew where you got the name from and, if possible, posted the document or a link to it. There is no known place in Italy today with "gregono" in its name. No comune (city/town), no frazione (small hamlet or village belonging to a larger city/town) and no province. A lis...
