S-mac,

I heard back from the comune of Ottone. They said that the only 2 Teresa Molinelli's born in 1879 are the following:
Teresa Caterina Molinelli, born in the frazione of Barchi 20/1/1879. Father: Giuseppe, mother: Rosa Molinelli

Teresa Maddalena Molinelli, born in Bertone the 14 of April 1879 ...

steveo,

I have a problem very similar to yours. I still haven't done the "domanda" at the comune for my citizenship but I will be doing it soon (let's hope..).
I am applying like this: Me-->Father-->GM-->GGF

I have 3 name discrepancies.....
GGF- Giovanni Molinelli---John Molinelli
GGM- Giovanna ...

No, that's not fully correct. I am getting my italian citizenship more or less like you: me-->F-->GM--->GGF

As long as your grandmother had your father on or after Jan 1 1948, you can still do it.

Here's what I found to confirm this:
"Your mother was born in a country other than Italy, your ...

Just wanted to let you know that I sent out a request for your grandmothers birth certificate--I expect to hear back from them in a week or so, they are quite fast at this teeny tiny comune

Also, NARA, aka the National Archives, doesn't have all naturalization documents. In fact, they didn't have anything for my GGF.

I don't know where you live but I went there in person and got it. I found the listing on this website:

I had originally written them but one of the guys that works in there, Mike, had written me back saying that the archive number I gave him didn't ...

Hi David,

If you write to the Comune of Livorno you will be able to request your GGF's birth certificate-there you will be able to find out his parents names. P.P may be Pier Paolo, but like I said above, it will be listed on the birth certificate.
Here is their address:
Comune di Livorno

Hi S-mac and dbell,

So sorry I haven't gotten back to you until now, I've been travelling and haven't been on the computer. Dbell, there are a few small towns called Molinello if your relatives weren't from Bertone but it is most likely that they are from where my relatives are from as it is not a ...

Hi Everyone,

I have quite a few Molinelli relations in my family. Not all directly blood-related but my grandmother had 5 sisters and 3 of them married more Molinelli's. Anyways, I also have a great write-up on Bertone itself, in Italian, that I should be translating soon. If you want any help ...

Thanks a lot I appreciate it!

Can anyone help me find a ship manifest for Filippo LoBianco? He came from Sperlinga in Sicily in the 1910's 1920's at about 20 years old. His final destination was Chicago. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the try, Peter.

Does anyone have ancestry.com that can do this? A lot of stuff comes up but I can't access it!

I'm looking for the following information for a friend of mine. He is trying to find passenger's lists and naturalizations for his GGF, Filippo LoBianco (possibly Lo Bianco), from Sperlinga (Enna) Sicily. He came at about 20, 21 years old in the 1910's 1920's with his final destination as Chicago ...

Hi S-mac,

What were the names of your grandmothers parents? Teresa was a common name in Bertone. I have a great aunt and great grandmother named Teresa.
If you are interested, there are great photos of Bertone on panoramio:
