HI Silvana

I went to the library last night. I apparently let the birth film for the late years go back without renewing. My bad. I still need the film for my own research so I reordered it. I should have it again in about 2 weeks.

Sorry, I really thought I had it.

Hi Trish,

Yes I do have Cifelli in my tree. Pasquale Cifelli and Giovanna Cicchino (1750) were my 5th great grandparents on my fathers' mother side. There are others as well but they are the couple that come to mind.

My main family of interest in Castelpetroso is CIELLI which has appeared to be ...

I have several of the films from Castelpetroso. I'll see what I can find.

HI,

To answer your first question, if you wish to write, typically the donation is in Euro for the equivolent of $15 US. That cost will get you the single birth act. There may be a long wait for the search to actually be done.

If you are not aware, there is an easier way to do this research ...

Hi again Sherry,

The "Uncle Francesco" made 2 trips. the first May 27 1899
The 2nd was Novemeber 3, 1905. he states he was travelling to his brother Vincenzo at 207 Commercial St, Trinidad, Colorado. The same town that your Vincenzo stated he was going to in 1906.

I replied to quickly. There is more info on the 1930 census. I missed all the children on the next page.

From what I can make out from Sher's previous posts, Vincenzo also went by the name James. His wife from what I can see was named Michelina di Cicco.

The 1930 federal census for Lowellville, Mahoning, Ohio shows James age 42 and Michelina age 36. The di Cicco family is living next door. The census ...

Hi Sherry,

I see that you are from Ohio. Is there any chance that Vincenzo died in Ohio? There is a Vincenz J Bisconti who died on November 12, 1961 at the age of 74 (1887 birth year) The listing says Youngstown, Mahoning County.

If this isnt him, have you asked your Grandmother where he died ...

Hello,

Couple of questions for you. First what was your Grandfathers full name? Approximate age?

Also do you know if he returned to Italy to serve with the Italian Army or did he serve for a US unit?

Hi Lola,

Couple things to keep in mind when dealing with Naples and the Catasti. Naples is the central archives for that region, they have tens of thousands of historic manuscripts not just the individual censuses from the towns. Many of these "books" are deteriorating and are in the restoration ...

Used the caualties of WW2/Korea intered overseas database at ancestry.com. Had a feeling he might be there with what information Seal gave. No age given though thats why I didnt know which Albert in the 1930 census was the correct.
