We need more information to help you. Have you found immigration records? Census records? Do you know what town in Italy your family was from?

Please post name of ancestor, age, spouse or other identifying information along with answers to questions above to enable us to help you.

Here is a site for Nusco:
http://en.comuni-italiani.it/064/066/index.html

Here are the records available for Nusco from LDS:
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library ... umns=*,0,0

Here is a post by Trish on how to use the records:

If you have done your research, you should be able to find your ancestor in these records and trace the lineage back to at least the 1800's. Good Luck.

If you rent the microfilm for the town and go through the records you should be able to "I want to make my family tree as large as possible". Causes of death are rarely recorded in these records. But the names of spouse and parents are.

I recommend Tafford Cole's book "Italian Genealogical Records". It is a great source of information for anyone doing Italian research.

If you are looking for other Ressa's to contact you, it may be helpful to post more detail on your ancesor's from Nusco. Also other bulletins boards could help.

Ressa,

I am not trying to take credit for your family tree. That is why I said it was yours (the posters) tree. Since you have all this information, it is a waste of time for us to try and find things you alread know.

Example of your previous post:
I am building up my family tree. need help.

anyone know about the ressa's????
any info will be helpful

Why send us off on such a vague search when you have so many details?

Debbie
