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 have a Micheal Famiglietti in my family. My Grandmother Carmella Famiglietti had a brother with that name. She and her parents came here from Sturno to Glen Cove LI. Although Micheal's wife's name was Nunzia not Angela, it could still be family. I can't trace down my grandmothers parents. Maybe your Micheal and Angela are them. I am sending out a letter to the Social Security Administration, requesting a copy of SS-5 application for a Social Security Card. That will give me her parents names and hopefully more. If it is a match to you I will let you know.
Just a quick note: In doing my research on my family in Sturno and Glen Cove LI. I went on Google Earth and was looking at the town. What did I see? A street named GLEN COVE. No joke. So did they come to Glen Cove LI because it was a familiar name? or Did they name that street because so many people came to Glen Cove? Hmmm...

I am lds and I need some help because I cannot find some relatives beyond the relatives that came to the US. I know that last names where changed when people came to america. Does anyone know how I can find the italian relatives who stayed in italy when the Ellis Island records orUS government records do not list thier names? I have looked everywhere and can't find anything. THis is very important and something that can't be overlooked. Does anyone know what the actual italian surname equivalents to these Americanized last names: Galente, Familathe. Those aren't their real italian last names, but the Americanized names. Please help! This is so important.
I know I'm almost a decade late but I'm a Familathe! if you still need or want anymore information on the Familathes you can ask me!!
An Italian novel for kids called "La Freccia Azzurra" (The Blue Arrow) says that all the children in the world wait for Christmas Eve to get presents from Santa Clause, but Italian kids are the luckiest in the world because they get presents again on the 6th of January by the Befana. Who is the Befa...
