Hi and welcome!RizRich wrote:I have re-started researching the Family Tree that I started in the late 90's. Once I reach the Ellis Island and the Italy search I reach a block. I have input all my data into Roots Magic.
Listed in the subject line are the names I have come up with on my Father's side. My father was born Frank Rizzo on July 4, 1913 in Elmora, NY. His father was named Giovanni "John" Rizzo or Ritz, born 9-5-1876 in Italy, died 5-16-1957 in Glassboro, NJ.
His mother was Rose D'Angelo, born 2-17-1877 in Italy, died 11-9-1953 in Glassboro, NJ. Her parents were Peter (Pietro) D'Angelo and Victoria Venuto.
I do not have the town/s where they were born or the year the emigrated from Italy. I believe they initially lived in Sicily.
Can anyone point me in the right direction. I have been on the Ellis Island website, but I find it difficult to pinpoint who I am looking for.
