Looking for relatives of Bettina Basile Youngblood

Post by youngblood03 »

Hello, I am looking for any relatives of my husbands grandmother Bettina Basile Youngblood. She was from naples and played piano at the uso. She had 3 brothers....alfonso, archimedes and tonino. Archimedes was married to a lady names pina and they had 2 kids...franco and sylvana. Tonino was married to a lady named maria and they had 4 boys... marcello (musician), renato (imort buisness), jon paulo (dentist) and sergio.

She married ralph youngblood who was in the usaf at the time. They married there in naples and then moved back to the states and settled in Iowa.


Any help would be appreciated.

p.s. how would i go about getting their marriage certificate and birth certificates?

thanks

Lee :D , you're right, there's a passport # on the 1955 manifest.
Good catch!
There's a link to the US Dept of State below
