Looking for anyone from Macchia da Sole or who has been there or knows someone from there. This is where my grandfather was from and would like any information that is out there.

Macchia Da Sole is a "frazione" (outlying area absorbed buy expanding town becoming part of the "new town" which in your case is VALLE CASTELLANA, Teramo province, Abruzzi region.

Go to www.nonsolocap.it/cap?k=-Valle+Castellana and then click on the town name for the town government webpage and to the right is the www for the tourist page. Scroll down to MUNICIPIO (town hall) where you write for documents (BMD's)

For telephone directory go to www.paginebianche.it and put insurname in first line and Valle Castellana in second line and click CERCA for any persons with your last name.www.angelfire.com/ok3/pearlsofwisdom/sa ... etter.html for letter to a potential relative

Also go to www,.angelfire.com/ok3/pearlsofwisdom/italian-form-letters.html for birth,marriage or death records.

Thank you Peter,
I am still looking to hear from anyone from this area. What the town is like now and what it was like in the late 1800's early 1900's when my grandfather grew up there.
His name over here was Sal Baldassero. But it could have been changed when he arrived in Canada. Baldassaro, Baldassere, I am not sure. Hoping someone was from this town.

Dear Lenny go to www.tuttitalia.it/abruzzo/91-valle-castellana which will give you the town website.
scroling down to the right is the tourst website www... and if you wish to know the correct spelling go to the website that I previously furnished you www.Paginebianche.it and put in the spellings of BALDASSARE which is most likely surname and send a potential relative letter to any Baldassare in Valle Castellana.Send your letter with a return envelope. =Peter=

Dear Lenny When you go to www.paginebianche.it and inthe first line put inBaldassare and inthe second line put in Abruzzo so that all Baldassare are listed. Perhaps any with the same first names are relatives in Valle Castellana and so send them the potential relative letter I furnished you.

If there are none seek out from any Abruzzo organizations in Canada where you live. Go to www.abruzzo2000.com =Peter=
