I am searching for information on Giovanni Rizzi, born 1889. Ellis Island records say that he was from Castellana. He changed his name to Sam Ritz. His sister Cecilia Rizzi came to the U.S. in 1920 from Casamassima. He also had a brother Joseph Rizzi that came to the U.S. Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pamella

Re: Rizzi family
The only other info I have on Giovanni is that he came to the U.S. in 1904 at the age of 15. His father's name may have been Samuel & his mother Mattie Lea. I would like to know who his parents were & any sibblings that stayed in Italy. I do not know the Italian language, and am not sure where or how to search for information.
Thanks for you replies,

Here is a form letter for request of birth, marriage, and death acts.

If you would like census info which may provide the year of naturalization, and additional infos on the family, we need the state in which they lived, name of spouse and children.
