Re: Fried Dough Translation

That's okay...this is terrific. What's odd to me is that this is the only instance of this term "Crostelle" I can find on the entire net. 99.9% of the time fried dough is referred to as Zeppoli. I'm wondering where Crostelle came from. My family is from Cosenza but I have never really hea...

Re: Composition of Italian Wedding Parties

All four of my grandparents came from Italy, met and married in the Bronx, NYC, NY. What is striking about their wedding party photos in 1920 and 1924 is that almost all of the wedding party is female. The same was true with the 1924 wedding of my grandfather's cousin. While there were many flower ...

Re: Moor or Less

These photographs might be of interest to you: https://www.mariobadagliacca.com/moors_of_sicily_2018-r10994 In the neighborhood I grew up in, girls that looked like the girl at the opening of the article, was commonplace. Whether she had 'Moorish' blood or not, we would've just thought of her as ha...

Re: Moor or Less

I searched for images of people from North Africa and was surprised they looked so European. Perhaps the "look" is from other parts of Africa. Does anyone have any photos of Sicilian relatives with known North African ancestry which they are willing to post? Northern African is basically ...

It would be great to see more of the document page to see other letter formations.

Re: Organising Your Family History

Chiddicks: Well I really admire how you organized your research. But that's because I NEED to be organized at all times. I have used Family Search forms for family information, that I've done by hand, but I liked your form for Annie Day. I have also used the clear sheets and slipped copies of docs i...

Re: Looking for Eastern European village

Looks like Max Huzij lived at the edge of The Pale. The area where Poland, Germany and Russia/Prussia would often change the geo-political borders.

Re: Eating Spaghetti in Naples

Those photos are something. Never saw that eating style or ever heard of it. I guess there was NOTHING on those spaghettis, not even some olive oil.

Re: Native American genealogy

Lol. Maybe. But since he gave his company an Indian name and embraced Indian culture, I doubt it. I don't get my father for pulling towards a heritage that's not his own. It's kind of creepy in my opinion. He descended from European royals and warriors. He should have "gotten to know" the...

Re: Am I eligible? GF wasn't a citizen but dad was in WW2

Your father was an Italian citizen at the time of his birth. Unfortunately, if he naturalized as a minor, he was not an Italian citizen at the time of YOUR birth, and that’s what counts. No you're wrong. Because at this time are many people applying for dual citizenship and their parent is an Ameri...

Re: Am I eligible? GF wasn't a citizen but dad was in WW2

My father was born before 1912 and his parents were still Italian citizens at the time. He also served in WWII. By that time my GF had become a citizen, and my father by 'minor child' default, also. But at the time of his birth he was not, nor for a few years afterward. I believe I have an acceptabl...
