I have an old document which I think is a marriage contract between my material grandparents. The back of the document has a stamp from Messina but I can't find a date. I scan...

Does anyone know how I would find any living relatives in Italy? I am planning a trip to Italy May 2011.

Yes, it is his Draft Registration Card! Amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!

Yes, this is my grandfather. He did live in Parsippany, NJ. Still can't find a record of his coming to America. Thank you again, for all your help with the translation and information. I am working on a family tree and this helps me so much.

I am looking for information on my grandfather, Giuseppe Griffo. I am not sure, but I think he was from Patti, Sicily.
