I have found a little information on my grandfather. What do I do now?
My Grandfather Paul Bianchi came to the US on June 7, 1924. His ship of travel was the Duilio. His port of departure was Genoa, and the manifest line was 0004.

Re: Paul Bianchi
It depends on what your research goals are. Are you looking to trace his parents and keep going back? Are you interested on just placing him on a census, finding out where he was buried or to connect with other family members? You need to let us know what you would like and we can advise you from there.
I am linking the manifest for anyone wishing to view..

The nice thing about this manifest is that is gives the date he was naturalized which means he was in the Us before this trip.
Is this his Census info? Don't have my glasses on (left them at work so just looking quickly here)

In order to continue to search for your ancestors you most likely will need to order films from the Family History Centre. I'm not sure on which films to order or if they are available but others here will definitely be able to help you with that.

Re: Paul Bianchi
Nuccia,
All this information belongs to my family. My grandmother died when I was in the 8th grade at St. Mary's School in Delaware, Ohio. My father passed away when I was 26, shortly after the birth of my oldest son. He was the last grandchild my father held. My grandfather passed away before my mother and father were married. I never knew him. I love my family so much, and this has been such a blessing to have any information on the Italian side of my family. I would love to visit Lucca someday!

Re: Paul Bianchi
Here is a link for some further info from Lucca..
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library ... umns=*,0,0
www.familysearch.org is an excellent site for finding out info about people, places and if microfilms are available for your town should you want to go back further.
You can only download a free software program to record the info on your family..or you can search the SSDI as well as other records.
Good luck and keep us posted on how you make out or if you have any further questions.

Re: Paul Bianchi
Hi Rita,
Do you have any documentation that shows the town of origin? Parents names?....Naturalization record? Death record? Birth records of his children? SS application? Church records?
Lucca is both a city & a province. You need town of origin to trace the family.
