I have reached a roadblock on the potential connection between a Frank Naso (born approx 1870) and Alfonsa Naso (approx 1871-1952). I think the families are connected but cannot find a set of common parents or other connecting family members.

My mother side of the family is Baio (grandfather)-Naso ...

On the holiday, to all that responded above and helped with my questions: Grazie di tutto

Unfortunately all the Italian or Sicilian words or phrases I know revolved around my grandmother(s) who terms were not generally for endearment but scolding. Usually delivered along with a very large wooden ...

Well I'm sitting in a hospital room in Myrtle Beach SC (passing my time) and would really like to know what my father's grandparents marriage record actually says. I've tired various forms of Italian-English translation programs but I'm just not getting the cursive spelling correct.
Or if there is ...

If anyone could translate the actual text of the marriage record, I would greatly appreciate it. I'd like to give this my sister who is at age 84 interested in our Sicilian family history.

Here is a good place to look for an example of how much trouble it is to get anything from NY...I'm not sure if marriage certificates fall in this list also. But I know birth and death certificates are difficult.

Thanks for the birth record for Angela Strazzeri.

If anyone has a suggestion on where I ...

I have Naturalization papers that say he (GF) started the process but passed away before he completed ...

So from this translation, the child was abandoned (or a foundling) and both a first name and last name were given to him?

Amazing. Our family lore said the name "Montebello" was selected by my grandfather when he came to America to get away from his parents. Which is all untrue.

I also have a birth record of my maternal grandfather, Giovanni Bajo (Baio) and would appreciate assistance with a translation or a place where I could obtain translations.
These records are some I have searching for for several years with not much success (until recently). Again, I greatly ...

Sorry..I was too interested in seeing the translation...grandfather. not great grandfather, his son was Joseph Montebello, my father.

I've finally had some luck after a number of years of looking for my great grandfather. If someone would translate, I would be extremely appreciate. Michael Montebello
