A cemetery just outside Naples

We were just a minute or two into our flight from Naples to Rome, returning home after 12 glorious days. :cry: I took this picture from the plane. It was the only cemetery I got to see on the trip. We could not make it to Teggiano, Trentinara or Colobraro due to time and money constraints. Mainly ...

Trip to Italy

This may or may not be the correct forum, but here goes anyway.

We are leaving Saturday for a 12 day trip to Italy. Start in Venice, end in Sorrento. One of the days in Sorrento, we want to hire a driver to take us to Trentinara. I've contacted three by email and gotten varying prices.

Does anyone ...

Forum rules?

What are the forum rules for people with access to pay sites sharing info from those sites on this board? Is it okay? Do we go by "it's my money, I'll spend it however I want"? Thanks.

Re: Photographing cemeteries in Italy

Thanks for all the information. I don't understand why it would be illegal, especially if it's family graves you're taking photos of. But, illegal is illegal and I don't want to end up in an Italian jail.

Photographing cemeteries in Italy

We're leaving in mid-June. We hope to take a day (hire a driver) to take us from Sorrento to Teggiano. I'd like to photograph any family surname stones that I find. But, I read somewhere that it's illegal to photographs graves in Italian cemeteries.

Does anyone know? Does anyone know the name of ...

Re: Difficulty reading old passport. Need some help.

Chris, someone in our family has the original. That particular person was the son of my grandfather's half-brother. Family says that Anna Rizzo was not the mother of the person holding the passport (almost hostage) and no direct family member knows where it is now. That "half-nephew" has passed away ...

Re: Difficulty reading old passport. Need some help.

This helps more than y'all know!

Thanks so much!

Edited to add: Forgot to ask. How can you determine when the passport was applied for? I don't see a date anywhere on it. What I posted here was the front part only but the other portions look blank.

Difficulty reading old passport. Need some help.

The name is barely legible but says ANNA RIZZO.

I can tell she's the daughter of Domenic. What I can't read is the next line and what it means. Can someone help?

Re: Nigro

Thank you so much. I'll work from that. I seem to be having a difficult time reading some of the manifests and obviously missed that one. Missed the WW1 registration too.

A son named Michael Angelo Nigro, born around 1900. Family settled mostly in the Berkeley Heights area ...

Re: Antonio Domenic (Dominic, Domenick) or Dominic (Domenick

once they identify the PLOT they should have the names of everyone who is interred there.

good luck, john

Therein lies the problem. I actually spoke with the cemetery manager later that afternoon. He had a print out of all the plots and plot owners. But, they DO NOT keep a record of who's buried ...

Re: Churches in Colobraro

Thanks to you both. That will help considerably. We are planning a trip to the area in mid-June. I'm hoping I'll be able to gather a little information while I'm there.
