Re: looking for grandfather,s home
Where did Giuseppe and Teresa settle in the US? What are some/all of their children's names and years of birth?
This information will greatly help in locating the correct records.

Difficult to be certain, but wife's full name may have been Maria Teresa.

Re: looking for grandfather,s home
Hi Carmine , If you read my other posting , you'll see we are also going to Giovinazzo , Italy to try and find my husband's cousins there 12 of them so i'm sure some of them are still there..... we tried in 2007 when we went there , we went to an old address I found, Aunt Anna had moved to an apt. she had bought for her son.....he went to Australia .... we looked in phone books, asked people in stores, we just didn't know what to do ....I thought it would be so easy because Giovinazzo is such a small town.....i'm hoping someone can help......this trip is all about trying to find our families.....

The current Italian telephone directory doesn't list any Cieri's in Morrone; there are 15 listings in the province of Campobasso: http://www.paginebianche.it/execute.cgi ... &td=3&l=en

Re: looking for grandfather,s home
For Australia, go to http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/ and click the "Guest" button to login the easy way. On the next page, enter a name (start with just a surname) in the Keywords box and then click Search.
You may find some very interesting stuff. If there is a page icon in the "Digitised Item" column, just click it to see the documents. If no icon, then you can order copies of the documents for a fee.
