Hey there
My name is Larissa and I would like to know how to find out about my anchestors in Italy. I have no clue where they were born other than what my grandfather believes that would be Calabria.
The surname is Caruso
Anybody has a clue how to help me?
send an e-mail to hotaru@ig.com.br please
Dear Larissa there are 1,604 persons spread over the entire 5 rpovinces of Calabria who are surnamed CARUSO. In Italy all records and history are in the city,town or village of origin of the family. You would have to know from what town he was born in and his date of birth in order to trace any family documents or history.

The year will be sufficient. There are 7 persons ion the town also surnamed Caruso and can be viewed at www.paginebianche.it. Peter
