Are you looking for an Italian surname? Do you need more information about your family heritage?
This is the right place to start your genealogy search.
I’m trying to find information about Giovanni Campana. He was born in March 28, 1866 in Italy and died in March 12,1952 in Ohio USA. He was married to Louisa Napoli. They migrated to USA in the early 1900’s I believe. I’m trying to find information about his parents.
Any information would be very helpful.

Giovanni's death is not recorded here.
Hi, my grandfather was Gaetano, great grandparents were John & Louisa. There is no Domenico. Grampa was the only one born in Italy, all siblings born in USA. He was married to Philomena Salerno Campana & passed away in 1984. You can email me for more information: grammie2967@yahoo.com
