Re: Looking for my biological father/relatives

To do list:
-Begin a *maternal* tree on Ancestry. So you have a tree in which to work, to learn genealogy and tree building skills, and to identify maternal matches regardless of testing site. To identify a father, you'd build floating branches within it based on the families of your closest non ...

Re: Translation of newspaper article.

How interesting, thank you.
Utica, New York is still a hotbed of gossip and rumors. It hasn't changed much, LOL.

Translation of newspaper article.

I found mention of my great-grandmother within an issue of Il Pensiero Italiano, via google book search.
She was a mid-wife.
Could someone please translate for me? See attached.
Thank you. :)

Re: Having trouble finding info on my great grandparents

Did some searching on MyHeritage (I have a paid account).

Found a FamilySearch tree with a Salvatore Sorrnti who married Maria Russo on 11/25/1911, in Rochester.

Went directly to FamilySearch and searched for Sorrnti and pulled up the document. They're on the bottom of the right-hand page of the ...

Re: Having trouble finding info on my great grandparents


Any ideas of where I could look to find info on parent names.


There are several courses of action you could take.

Their death certificates may have their parent's names listed. You can request genealogy copies from Monroe County:

Re: Tracing my great-grandparents

Do you know when Lorenzo and Rosalia passed away?

Did Rosalia have a brother Anthony Calato, who died in Buffalo on 11/16/1954?

Re: Trying to find photos and other documents!! TRIANO

Are you located in Italy or the US?

Where in NY state did your ancestors reside?
Or did they only pass through NY at Ellis Island?
Do you find them in the census?

If you know where and when they were born, married or died in the US, you can request the corresponding document from the municipality ...

Re: Deciphering a passenger list.

Thank you. Since Giuseppa Picceri became a citizen, should I be able to find some sort of naturalization records?

Line 1 is my grandfather's aunt. I'm curious if line 12 is her sister.

I've attached the next page of the list.

Line 1, Maria Picceri (with her 6 children), was going to join her ...

Deciphering a passenger list.

For the Picceri family members on this passenger list (see attached), can anyone decipher what it says in column 11 (for lines 1 and 12)?

??? Picceri ???

For other entries in column 11, it's obviously relation surname name.

Thank you.
