Hi Carmine

Our GGF was born in Trapani, both parents italian, he was born in September 1875 and came over to South Africa, where he married a
local, and had 5 children, as I said and our GM was the first born, Angela
Lipari. Yes our GM married a local too, and so did our mother.
Still means nothing ...

Our GM Angeline Lipari was born in 1902 and our mother was born in 1930
She, our GM was the first born to our GGF Bartollomeo Lipari, from Trapani.
So it does not look good, hey? Silly ruling, the date, the fact of the matter is our GGF was an Italian citizen and never gave up his Italian ...

A quick question to those out here who know;

GGF from Trapani, Sicilia, migrated to S.A. had 5 children, one being our GM. He never gave up his Italian citizenship. We his GGChildren want to apply for Italian citizenship???

Multi grazi, have sent you Bartollomeo Lipari's birth certificate.

Looking forward to receiving the marriage certificate, who is

your uncle, by the way?

Ciao, Linda

Hi again Heidi

Would be great if you could organize a copy of that marriage certificate,
and email it to me.

Now I am a bit confused since Bartollomeo Lipari was born in 1875?
(which is after 1850)

Will send a copy of the birth certificate via another email address.
Please keep me posted on your ...

Hi again Heidi

Did respond to your personal email, for which I received a notification only today, the 10/08/2010.

Why have I not heard from your sister Kelly or your Mom Sheila, and by the way what is your surname? Is your Mom still living in Australia?

Would love to hear from you again.

Cia ...

Hi again Kelly

I ran out of space, to continue it would be great if we here in S.A could get hold of the marriage certificate. The more we share with one another the more we will be able to find out about our family history. Do you know Natasha Lipari at all, she definitely knows Ethel, and this is ...

Hi Kelly

So much to tell really, but some dissappointments along the way too.
Are you living in Austrlia? I did respond to your Moms post but never heard anything from her, I really was dissappointed, but none the less I found Natasha Lipari, who does know quite a bit about the Lipari family in ...

Hi again

Can someone please tell us, why is the year 1948 so relevant for citizenship?

We have established that our great-grandfather never gave up his Italian
citizenship, he was born the 27/09/1875 in Trapani, Sicilia and my grandmother(the first born) was born on 24/10/1902 my mother was born ...

Ciao a tutti

Grazie tanto per la consulenza e aiuto, molto apprezzato.

Cercherò di tenervi sempre aggiornati sui nostri progressi.

Ciao per ora

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE ON THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP?

We live in South Africa, our great-grandfather, was born in Trapani, Sicilia and came over to South Africa by boat in the late 1890's and early 1900's. Had 6 children, one girl (our grand mother) and 5 boys. We have received his ...

Have one or two questions, hope someone has the answers;

Our great grandfather was born in Trapani, Sicilia on 27/09/1875.
We have established that he did not give up his Italian Citizenship (he
never became a South African citizen) confirmed by our Dept. of Home
Affairs, when he came to South ...

Hi Trevisan2

Thanks for the response.

All we have is that he, Bartollomeo Lipari was born on the 27th September 1975 in Trapani at 06h00. His dad was Franceso and his mom was Gena Angela Lipari. Obviously he left Trapani and came over to South Africa I would estimate when he was about 25yrs. He ...

Hi Peter

After many years waiting and searching patiently to discover, in what town exactly, in Sicilia, was our great grandfather born. We have his birth certificate from Commune di Trapani confirmed. Now it would be great if we could make contact with any of his family still living there!

We now ...
