Yes, thank you. I have been able to get the family records from Casazza. I am currently trying to learn Italian so I can go further back in my search.

I sure hope so. I know my family is crazy but I sure dont want it official.

On my Grandmothers birth certificate her mothers name is Sanita. I looked up the meaning and all I could find was "health" or referring to a sanitarium. My question is: could this be her real name or were they implying something?? I know she died at a very young age, if that has anything to do with ...

Yes it does thank you. By the dates and name, there is a good chance she is my great grandmothers sister.

Thank you,

Catherine

Thank you. I guess my impatience is showing boldly.

Wildspirit, thank you. Being that I could only read her name, could you tell me if they mention her mother, father or children?? I did see a Guiseppe, but I think that was her spouse. Any help is always appreciated.

Liviomoreno, yes I am aware of the different last names. Its just that my ...

While doing the free index search on Ancestry, I ran across something of interest but since I dont have a world wide subscription, I cant look. Would someone mind posting the results for:

I find it interesting because My grandmother's name was ...

Yes, its me. I have the family search on my computer. I wasnt able to download the software till this afternoon so I will start tonight. Thanks for that heads up. I will say the tech support emailed me back quickly there.

Well, I was hit hard too. I cannot get in. I was at 822 records and ready to get to 900 so I can peek, but no longer. I think it might have something to do w/ the system requirements as my computer no longer reaches what it is asking for. They may have asked for a pentium 4 all along, but my AMD ...

Thank you Peter. I was a little confused about comunes/hamlets etc. Also, my post was for anybody who had ancestry if they could look up my ggf's as it seems there is info now out there, for at least the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province and hopefully soon for Bergamo.

Thanks,

Catherine

I would love some info. I nolonger have Ancestry and my library only subscribes to another one with less info. Cant remember the name.

I am interested in:

His Children. I only know of Luigi born 1900, Carlo ...

I have to pipe in here as the devils advocate. please dont hate me. On the same token I hate it when things are in both English and Spanish. English is the national language at the moment. I hate that my parents didnt teach us Italian and we were VERY American but I also see many immigrants both ...

Well that is fantastic news. Thank you

I think I found it. It is called dry salami. It is in the style of Piedmont. Made famous in San Fran and thats probably why I cant find it anywhere else. Yet another thing I miss (sourdough is number one). And out here they dont have coppa, only capicola, which isnt the same.

But, out here I have ...
