If that is the case with Law 379_2000, then our friend could have a decent shot... he should pursue it, but definately in italy, as Chicago is having major problems. this is an exciting angle.

hmmmm

well when i type in "Gallico" at this website:

it doesn't list gallico having a comune.
when you type in "Calabria"
there comes up a comune for Comune di Reggio Calabria (RC).

any thoughts?

any ideas?

Nuccia,

are you sure this is the address?
it doesn't have a street name or anything???
can anyone confirm?

Because it's a localita of the Citta di Reggio di Calabria,
so i'm not sure if I send it to the comune
of the Citta di Reggio di Calabria or if
Gallico has one of their own.

JOHN

i'll keep everyone posted!

thanks!
JOHN

is a localita.

thanks!
JOHN

Hi guys,

I have to write a letter to a comune in Italy.
although, i'm not sure which comune!

My great grandmother was from Gallico (RC),
so which comune, and what's the address that
I write to, to get her birth certificate?

thanks
JOHN

thanks again

because my great-grandmother was naturalized
through him, and it says her date of naturalization
was Aug. 7 1901

it says he arrived feb 4 1887, is there any ship manifests
matching that?
