I'm so sorry they were so small, before I post anymore I will figure out how to make them bigger.

I'm off to hunt a nephew/grandson now ... Thank you again so much

Hi... I was sent some pictures from a relative that she found in a box. A few of them have some writing on the back of them and I was hoping to see if someone could translate for me. I'll try adding as a attachment and also tried to load them into my photobucket.
Thanks in advance (and hopefully the ...

I just noticed the last name was different, I was searching for a Coltellaro this whole time.. no wonder I never found anything.

Thank you SOOO much for finding that census Vj.

Yes, she remarried to a Anton Coltellaro from what I was told and had a Joseph, Louis and a Frank. I haven't been able to find anything on this yet.

So sorry, I asked that it send me updates if someone replies but it didn't and I decided to come back and check.

That would be her Ellis Island records, she came over with a couple of her daughers.

The other daughter Angelina (my g grandma) came over with the rest of the kids after the father died ...

Hi.. I was hoping someone could give me some help on where to start searching for records in Italy.

This is all I know:
My GG came from Curinga, her name was Eleanor Lauria dob 1863, married a man Andrew Delazandro, Delasandra or Dellasanda.
She came over to USA in 1899 with some of her children ...
