Unable to find town where ggf came from
Unable to find town where ggf came from
Hi - new to this site. I am unable to find the town where my ggf came from in Italy. Came to NY in 1882 from Havre; last known address is Torino. But it seemed like everyone on the ship came from Torino! GGF name is Ferdinando Cantagalli born 1849; his father's name was Giuseppe. Where do you look when it could be anywhere in Italy??!! Thanks for your help. Nancy

Re: Cantagalli or Monsagradi
Thanks to those who responded regarding my gg grandfather, Ferdinando Cantagalli. The 1900 census was new for me; I have the 1910 census. I wondered if Modane was the town in Italy. Does anyone have any information on that town?
I believe Giovanni Cantagalli was related since they were on the same ship.
Also, his wife Louisa (Luisa) Monsagradi. I have no information on her after the 1910 census. Any suggestions?
Thanks, again for all your help!

Re: Unable to find town where ggf came from
www.tiscali.it is an italian website and has total references to the town of MODANE which is what you put in the title provided you can read the Italian language. =Peter=
