Hello Mortgage2B..

What type of information are you looking for? Census records... ship records... people researching the same names... just basic research information? If you could supply the year of birth it would really help! Great Grandfather Francesco, - where did he live last- since he lived in 3 states and Toronto, Canada?

from Mortgaged2death,

For a family history center (Church of Jesus Christ - Latter-day Saints) near you, search here

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library ... et_fhc.asp

To oder film of an ancestral town - do a place search here.... since you mention 3 places!

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library ... t_fhlc.asp

The price of the film is very inexpensive per month, and worth the research. The atmosphere at these centers are wonderful, and all volunteers who work there are always willing to help.

molrtgage 2b you put us in a bind here since you use the word researching which could mean genealogy i n the USA fromthe present time back to the first immigrant ancestor thenback to Italy and back yet to the beginning of civil records and farther back to the churches as it were. No one here can reasonably be expected to conduict research other than a cursory check or a referral to an approrpiate website etc etchould you wish to pursue this matter then please be specific as to what you want so that you can be directed to the right church and right pew so to speak. Peter
