Racanelli
I am looking for my husbands family. His grandfather...Sylvestro Racanelli was from Bari. He was born Oct. 25, 1896. He was married in Bari, but then when he came to the states he married again to Angelina Di Orio.

While I wasn't able to find Sylvestro's immigration record, I can say with a good amount of certainty that his exact town of origin was Sannicandro di Bari, Bari, Italy based on these immigration records:

You can order Sannicandro di Bari civil records on microfilm from your local Family History Center for a fee of $5.00. Here is a link to find your local FHC:

You can also send a letter to the comune to this address:
Via Guglielmo Marconi, 2, 70028 Sannicandro di Bari BA, Italy? - 080 9936111? (You might want to double check that address before sending a letter, although I believe that is correct)
If you don't speak Italian you can use these form letters:

Hope this helps!!

Re: Racanelli
Here is a US Naturalization Declaration of Intention for Silvestro Racanelli of Sannicandro, Italy. Born 25 October 1896. Probably couldn't find a ship manifest for him because he entered the USA through Texas/Mexico border.

Re: Racanelli
Now that I read the records, he did come through Mexico and Texas. This is fantastic. I can not thank you all so much....I have had such a road block with my mother-in-laws family.
