It seems harder than it is..use this example to adress letters.

Di MolFetta, Chiarina
V. Ragusa, 49
70100 Bari
Italia

The other numbers is the phone number:
080 553 762 But you need to use the routing code prior to dialing (in Canada I believe its 01139 but you check with your operator to confirm).

darkorchidz, thanks for the update.
Census info is great for placing a family in a place at a time.
Number of family members and relationships are generally correct.
Names are subject to spelling errors.
Dates are sometimes guesses.
It's difficult to know who gave the census taker the info - a lot could be
guesses, names could be nicknames, etc. (language could be a barrier)
Best info is always primary sources (closest to dates of actual events):
birth, marriage, military, death, etc.
Thanks again!
