Another Newby Here

Post by ProvSpa »

Hello,

I am looking for information on Frank Tripi, born 1887, and (Providenza/Providence) Lagreca, born 1865. My maiden name was Tripi, and my Grandmother's maiden name was Lagreca. From what I can tell, Tripi's are mostly from Palermo. Other than the few records I can glean from Ancestry, I am at a loss as to what to do next.

Frank Trip and Providenza Legraca came to America at the turn of the 1900's. I want to find my great-grandparents.

Pointing me in any direction would help immensely,
Providence H.

Hello Providence,

First of all you could start by telling us the connection between Frank and Provvidenza and yourself.
There’s quite a big age difference between them.
Anything else you know?
Parents, brothers, relatives born in Italy?
Is their Italian origin stated anywhere?
Have you got their full dates of birth?

Did he die in New York in 1964?
Did he have a middle name?
What did you find out on Ancestry?
