Hi Caterina,

I don't know that we had any relatives living in the Bronx, but all the names you mentioned Angelina, Frank, Tom, and Dominic are all names that I think are typical of that area at that time - including Giacomo (Jack) and Jenny. I think you should start your own thread so that you can ...

Thanks so much for responding and trying the Wayback machine. I will contact him and hopefully there is some backup somewhere.

I am such an idiot for just leaving it there and not copying the information immediately.

There are no words for how I feel. I am so disgusted with myself!

Wow, that is really sad for me. There was information on the Irish site re my Irish side that I never copied. It was quite detailed information that sks looked up for me re Baptisms and Catholic Church records re my gggrandfather`s family

Is there no way for me to access my threads there?

Is it ...

I haven`t been around for a while. Just popping in and wanted to also visit the Irish genealogy forum and I see the link no longer works to the old site.

Does anyone have the web address??

Appreciated

This is such a great thread - thanks for all the conversation about this. I was just thinking yesterday about getting one.

The Etruscans are pretty ancient. I wonder how far back the DNA can take you?

Hi MJ,

I'm sorry I don't have the answer to your question, but the one thing I do know is that Ellis Island closed in 1954 as an immigration point, so it definitely wasn't there.

I'm sure somebody else here will know the answer.

Good luck,
Cetta

OK Mike. Thanks. I will send you a PM.

What about a main library in the city of Bari?

Is there any online searchable database - or individual newspapers - that can be searched to look for an obit from 1978 on in the Bari area?

Thanks,
Cetta

I'm interested in this question also.

Is it possible to pick up the information in person?

Thanks,
Cetta

BINGO!!!!!!!

Mike,
xoxoxoxox

Thanks so much. I put the name into the pagine bianchi and they are still listed.

I'm going to call tonight.....if I can get up the nerve.

A very happy Cetta

I'm not sure if this belongs in Handwriting or Surname but here goes:

Throught a stroke of pure luck, while cleaning out a box, I happily discovered a letter from 26 years ago from my grandfather's sister Rosina.
It was in an envelope mailed from her niece's house. I think I stuck her letter in a ...

I asked my uncle about Squicciarrini. He couldn't remember how we were related to them or IF we were but if this helps you:
He said there were 2 families that lived in Brooklyn right in the same neighborhood where he lived.

He said 1 Squicciarrini family lived on Jackson Place and ...

Ok - understood. I was wondering about that Providence and underneath it said R.Y. I was thinking R.I. for Rhode Island.

Also 149 Throop Avenue makes much more sense from what I know of the neighborhoods at the time. 407 7th Avenue I think was more of a "rich" neighborhood as it was near Prospect ...
