Oh my goodness. I have been reading a book about infant abandonment and this brought tears to my eyes. Thank you. You just never know where this process of learning about your family will lead you. The stories of my own family and of their neighbors can be so moving.

Perhaps I have been searching through these records for too long, but I can't figure out what is going on in #105 and 106 here. Especially the references to colors? If anyone can translate or has any ideas, I would appreciate it!

Hi,
My great grandmother was a Macri from Macchia Albanese. I have the year she came to the US in my records and will have to try to open that file again. Her name was Rose and she came to NY with her parents and younger brother.
