Looking for the family of Carmen G. Fortino born 10 Dec. 1903. Settled in Rochester, NY then Corning, NY. Brother Bruno and Joseph and one who settled in South America. Relatives in California who owned Fortino's winery. So many Fortinos! Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you. Cathy

Hi,

Are you just looking to connect with family or do you need any American or Italian records?

[cyorio]

I would like info on his family in Italy. He was married to my husband's aunt, Lucy Yorio Fortino, who is still living (100 years old!). I'm interested in learning more about his parents and brothers. Would love to connect with famiy too! Thanks.
