For starters go to www.archives.ca/02/020202/0202020401-e.html for all entries into Canada for whomever you are researching.

Since you know your grandfathers place of origin and that of his family just what are you looking for???

Just what are you looking for with the Mattiazzo branch of the family as well???

If, perhaps you want to find relatives in Castelfranco do you wish a directory of persons with the same surnames and what surnames are there in castelfranco besides Marchiori?

Finally I would suggest, since your going to do the research and I am merely going to direct you to appropriate websites and addresses, that you come up with a research objective worthy of your efforts and planned out for yourself.....it's your family. Peter NYC

sorry, have no idea. only info I have was that he was born in 1882 in castelfranco, veneto, treviso, italy. that was the info i was given. this is off of his work record. haven't found him on the immigration site as he worked in canda in1922 so therefore the immigrate site won't show me anything, have to wait 'till i can get on the microfische.

thanks once again

International postal cupons which you can purchase at the post office. Ask them about it. It serves in place of checks or moeny ordrs which they can't cash and don't weant this is the best alterfnative. Peter

thank you so much for your help. any ideas on how to find out about my grandmother. know when she died here in canada and that she was married in italy and had 2 children before coming to canada. can't seem to find any info on my sites that i have checked

ptimber · Post by **ptimber** » 12 Apr 2003, 14:51

do you have her entry record into Canada? Was she a sociasl security recipient in Canada and can you ask for her originsal rrecords as to date and place of birth in either area? Did you consider requesting her marriage record which might also give you vital data? Peter

aviphighlanddancer · Post by **aviphighlanddancer** » 13 Apr 2003, 08:14

thanks for the idea, her marriage certificate is listed in the bc archives web so i can write and ask for the certicate which might give some more info on her. i do not know anything else about her, but will start there.
thanks
