...and my biological Italian father who was obviously in Marseille in1946 (too late for a WWII encounter). I'm thinking that maybe the initial immigrant couple had siblings who stayed in Europe and turned up in France. I've done some cross-references with the names I know on French Geneanet but it ...

Oh, thank you.I didn't know on the record books about the difference of Part 1 to Part 2. I will let the family searcher know.

Amici:
I have someone I'm trying to help find some information in Capua. They have a ancestor who according to the Death Record, died AT the church on St. Angelo di Formis in Capua. This happened at 2:30 a.m. on 1920--Jan. 12th. The man was Michele Duonnolo fu Domenico e fu Mariantonia Violante, a ...

That's okay...this is terrific.

What's odd to me is that this is the only instance of this term "Crostelle" I can find on the entire net. 99.9% of the time fried dough is referred to as Zeppoli.

I'm wondering where Crostelle came from. My family is from Cosenza but I have never really heard/seen ...

All four of my grandparents came from Italy, met and married in the Bronx, NYC, NY. What is striking about their wedding party photos in 1920 and 1924 is that almost all of the wedding party is female. The same was true with the 1924 wedding of my grandfather's cousin. While there were many flower ...

These photographs might be of interest to you:

In the neighborhood I grew up in, girls that looked like the girl at the opening of the article, was commonplace. Whether she had 'Moorish' blood or not, we would've just thought of her ...

I searched for images of people from North Africa and was surprised they looked so European. Perhaps the "look" is from other parts of Africa.

Does anyone have any photos of Sicilian relatives with known North African ancestry which they are willing to post?


Northern African is basically ...

It would be great to see more of the document page to see other letter formations.

Looks like Richie Konig ^ Catherine Sameul, although the u seems to have been left out.

Well I really admire how you organized your research. But that's because I NEED to be organized at all times. I have used Family Search forms for family information, that I've done by hand, but I liked your form for Annie Day. I have also used the clear sheets and slipped copies of docs ...

Looks like Max Huzij lived at the edge of The Pale. The area where Poland, Germany and Russia/Prussia would often change the geo-political borders.

Those photos are something. Never saw that eating style or ever heard of it. I guess there was NOTHING on those spaghettis, not even some olive oil.

Lol. Maybe. But since he gave his company an Indian name and embraced Indian culture, I doubt it. I don't get my father for pulling towards a heritage that's not his own. It's kind of creepy in my opinion. He descended from European royals and warriors. He should have "gotten to know" them instead ...

What are you asking?

Your father was an Italian citizen at the time of his birth. Unfortunately, if he naturalized as a minor, he was not an Italian citizen at the time of YOUR birth, and that’s what counts.


No you're wrong. Because at this time are many people applying for dual citizenship and their parent is an ...
