So they had my great grandfathers sister in their tree, and had my grandfather but with incorrect spelling of his name (which is what was on his death certificate ...

I have recently received the results of my ancestry.com DNA test, which says I am 69% southern Italian, pinpointing Sicily, even though all the ancestors I have traced back to the 1700's are from Calabria, 14% Causasas and 13% Middle East.

But more interestingly I have discovered 2x 2nd cousins ...

Hi all,
It's been a long time since my last post. But I have had another breakthrough. I have recently done an ancestry.com dna test. I thought it would just show where my family originate from (which it's stating 69% Sicily, not Calabria which I have traced back to the 1700's for both sides of my ...

Hi there, sorry for my late reply. I haven't been on here for a long time. The have two Caterina Fedele's in my family tree.

I received a letter today from the Italian military in response to a letter I sent asking for my grandfather Saverio Monterosso's POW record. But it didn't have much information regarding where he was held in the USA, but rather more info on how much they were paid during the war (which was ...

Thanks. I have requested a login. Will await a reply. I think I have found most of the Monterosso family. I have gotten a bit stuck with the Tripodi, Carbone and Gioffre surnames. Look forward to looking at your research.

Thankyou for that information. I will give it try.

Sorry. The church is San Luca in the town of San Giorgio La Molara in Benevento. The church may still exist, but we can't find any information about it ie location, on the web.

Hi,

I am just wondering if anyone can tell me where I should enquire for a baptism record from a church in San Giorgio La Molara. The church is San Luca which I don't think it exists anymore. We have someone in Italy to go and get a copy of the record but not sure if they should go to the town ...
