Re: How do you tell a potential relative why you are looking

Here's a switch. I received a letter from Italy asking me if I was related. I never sent this person a letter. I haven't sent any letters yet to Italy so I was surprised to received this letter out of the blue. AND it was written in English. I did write back to her telling her she was not related bu...

Re: Carescia Loretta C and John H Andreano

As far as I can tell from my searching Filomena Tosches married Giovanni Creasia. They had 3 daughters (I think) Grace Rosetti, my grandmother, Loretta Andreano and I think Claire Sacco.
Any connection?

Re: How do you tell a potential relative why you are looking

I haven't written any letters yet to Italy and just read all the comments on this subject. I'll take every one of the suggestions into consideration and then use my own judgement in writing to Italy. I do have one ?. Can I send a letter in English or do I have to have it translated in Italian?

Re: Carescia Loretta C and John H Andreano

My grandmother's maiden name was Filomena Tosches. She was born March 25 1858 in Casalvecchio. She died Jan 29, 1933 in Milford Mass.

Do you think this might be part of your family also?

Re: Province of Foggia

Thanks, I connected to that site. No wonder I couldn't find the town the way my Mom spelled it! Now I can research my Dad's side of the family.

Province of Foggia

Looking for a place called Cassa Delveccio. I don't think this is the correct spelling. My Mom says that's where her family is from. Can anyone tell me if and what the correct spelling would be?

Thanks,
Gloria

Looking for information for both families. Both from Cassa Delveccio Province of Foggia Italy. Moved to Framingham Mass I think.

Have an 91 yr old dad that is wondering if his mother had another sister other than a Claire and Grace. Would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Re: Bruno-Ciancuilli

How do I reply to a certain person, like Nucci? I asked my Mom about the name Madelena and she said it was her mother's sister. We called her Zilena so it came as a surprise to find her real name.

Any idea how to go about searching Italy for more information before they came over to Ellis Island?

Re: Bruno-Ciancuilli

RE: Bruno/Ciancialli Thanks JCSM..all the names match but never heard of Bruns. Was that a misspelling on the Census? That 1930 census would be the age the family was at that time, right? Do I now have to look for the name of Bruns? The New Haven thing threw me off, but now I remember that's the Cou...
