Hi Dorothy, I was researching my family tree and got A LOT of help from Tessa and VJ. VJ found your tree and offered to contact you for me. It seems we're RELATED somehow. My grandfather is Luigi Fiore. His son, Otto (Arturo) is my father.

Thank you Marty!!!

And thank you to Marty too!!! The records are not for citizenship and I was thinking of trying to research my grandparents (both born in 1880) more than my father. Does it make sense to do that? And then it would be on microfilm, right? I REALLY appreciate ALL of your help!

You are a virtual plethora of information!!! And the 'in case you aren't familiar with' part in your last response made me laugh..I'm not familiar with much of anything..but I'm trying to learn and you are a GREAT teacher! Thanks again!

Thank You AGAIN Valarie!!!!! I see what you're looking at and since I don't know very much, that never would have made sense to me. Now I have another question if you don't mind..I was trying to look on Family Search and the italian historical records are by comune. I don't see Avellino there..any ...

GREAT..THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH!!!!

Hi Valarie,
Thanks for helping me again..lol. The name is Karolina Kowalska, my grandmother. Somehow, I don't think Kamil is a polish name and the first letter of the first and last names don't look alike to me.

My father was from Avellino. Is there a way to know or find out what commune?

would someone possibly be able to decipher the 'father's' non-italian name for me on line 14..please????

Thank you again for all your help and sharing your expertise (and the PAF). You've helped more than you could imagine.

Tessa, Valarie found many great records..way more than I every could have hoped for. And thank you for figuring out 'Melillo'. I remeber my father saying the name..not sure where it fits in, but time will tell..hopefully.

Valarie, This is alot to take in and I REALLY appreciate your help. I cannot contact Dorothy Galluccio on Ancestry as suggested since I'm not a paying member..however, I looked up her phone number and may call her. Can you possibly translate what is on the headstone that you sent me..Paci volitro in ...

Valarie and Tessa, you are blowing my mind with all of this!!! I cannot thank you enough for all the information you have given me!!!

Hi Valarie,
Thank You!!! I saw your post and was TOTALLY confused...now I'm only slightly confused. Leone didn't appear on the minifest I found. Maybe I have MORE relatives!!!
Thank you for your help!

Hi Tessa,
Thank you for trying to help me. For Angelo (1888-?), I have the 1940 Census and 1942 WWII draft reg. putting him at 294 Delano Place in Fairview NJ. He came on the SS Liguria arriving 10 Jan 1906 http://www.ellisisland.org/search/shipmanifest.asp?MID=11527889490900966752&FNM=ANGELO&LNM ...
