I think that the best thing for you to do now is to contact your Nearest Family History center and ask them to rent the Birth acts microfilm for Gibellina town... you'll be able to find the birth acts for the last daughters born (Antonietta, Maria, Caterina and Elisabetta) if you have their ...

i am looking for Arrival records for my great grandfather and his brothers they came between 1890 and 1899 and maybe together, i have searched and the only thing i can find are the census that give a date which falls between the dates i gave above and each census of coarse gives a different year ...

i have a photo of the very top of the record but i did not post it because that part i was able to translate, but by the time set and tried to do the rest of it i was ready to pull my hair out and thought i would ask for help with the next part of it. thank you for helping me with the 1st photo ...

i do not have a scanner so i have taken 2 photo's of the record ( divided it into sections) can someone please help me translate what this says. If nothing else i would love to get the parent names and date of birth from this but would love to know what other parts say as well. Trying to translate ...

i got one set of the two i ordered in today an will be going to view them. does anyone have any hints that might make reading these italian records easier or hints to help me search through them? i have a list of names and dates. very excited that they are here and hope i am able to read enough ...

This is (I believe) the 1897 arrival manifest for Calogera Caronia (Filippo Bontempo's wife, possibly second wife):

i am in the process of renting them to view, i also need to look at the birth records the LDS has for Gibellina, the local office for me is only open two days a week and from 6-8pm. tomorrow i plan to go and find out what i need to do in order to rent and view these. thank you for the help ...

i found the record on ancestry using the dates and ship name you had, i think the link you gave must be for something else. while i was looking it over i noticed right under philip and Margaret is a Giuseppe Accardo age 19 from the same town ( that is the same last name as the other children where ...

noticed the post above had a location thought maybe send to there but when i went to the link margaret nor philip can be found on that record. did you happen to link the wrong page or record or am i over looking it?? see below...
