I did find records but not through the letters that I wrote to them, I never heard back. I had someone local obtain them for me. I was recently in Italy and wrote a generic letter and mailed it to about 20 people that had the same surnames as my grandparents. I found these addresses in the internati...

I was in Atrani in 1961 when I was 5 years old. From what I remember, we stayed with a family that were relatives in some way to my grandmother. I think it was on a farm and I remember my mother saying that they exported to the US. I have two pictures from then-one of me with several kids and one of...

Yes, I tried an email before the letters. I gave my email again in the letters in case I had something wrong in their email addresses. I wanted to give them some time and I think that I will follow up with an email again.

You are living In Rome? My daughter just returned from there. We plan to return in January and tour some of the majo...

Hi, Thanks for your response. Our grandfathers arrived from Scafati in the same year. I have a full membership to Ancestry, too, but it hasn't helped. That region doesn't have anything transcribed onto the site. I have tried the Family Search Center, but they don't have records of that area either. ...

Thank you Marty

My grandfather was born in Scafati and my grandmother was born in Atrani in the 1880's. I have been unable to find ANY online records for these towns. I have sent emails to each of the towns but still have not heard from them. I know my all of my great-grandparents names except for my grandmother's ...
