You need vital data like town of origin and birth year for each. Go to www.ellisisland.org and look them all up. Italian woman never lose their identity so their names are intact in the ellis island website despite marriage their entry is in maiden name. When you find them you find town of origim, date of birth and other data as well. Once you have the town then you can either write for documents, look for relatives or condcut research on microfilm of civil records of town of origin at Mormon church Family History Library....and this is due by next tuesday!

[Tamasi1866]

My great great grandfather is Antonio "Mike" Tamasi 1866-1905 according to ancestry sites from Isernia,Molise, Italy. Married to Antonia Pandone 1872-1934 and their son my great grandfather Louis "Louie" Thompson 1897-1977 lived in Orange County NY so last name changed to Thompson. I'm from the same area, lived in nyc for awhile and went to art school but came back. I was curious about claiming italian dual citizenship after I discovered this fact!
