You got it!!!!!!!! What is the town and chances are its on micorfilm and you can trace your family back to 1809. You can also go to www.paginebianche.it and put in Musso in the first line and the town in the third line and click CERCAS for any person in that town with that last name who may bvery well be relatives. get back wih the town name. In the meantime buy a book Italian genalogical records by Trafford R. Cole and this will give youwhat you need to understand italian genealog. Peter

You must have the town name in order to trace anything in Italy itself.

Using the link Peter gave you will enable you to locate documents
which may contain the town name. Without further information
it is rather difficult for anyone here to provide assistance.

There are currently 200 persons living in Sicilia with the surname Musso.
You could write a letter of inquiry........but, it would be quite a task......

I can understand being lost as to how one goes about researching their
genealogy, however, given your replies and lack of information, I would have to concur with Peter, "how old are you?"

The goal here is not to offend you, as I said, there are alot of experienced
and helpful people here who can guide you in the right direction........
but in order to do that you must be more specific.

Start with the link Peter gave you and check immigration, also naturalization and citizenship papers. Once you discover the town
name, you can proceed to Italy.
