LaGuardia, Italy

[Normandie]

Now that I have information of town and province, what would be my next step in seeing if the Cornettas, Guiseppe and Emanuella really came from there? I have a birth date on their death certificate and some information from the census. I wish I could find Naturalization papers on them. I have looked at Italian Genealogy Gorup site for Naturalization and Petitions. I have looked thru Ancestry but nothing comes up on them. I would think that if I could find these papers i would have more information on were they came. if anyone has any suggestions or think I should try to write town, please let me know. Several of my relatives want to know where they come from. I don't want to give an answer till I feel more confident about the place. Thanks. N.

Valarie Thanks so much. I will go to web sites and try to put letter together. I know you have to send money. Guess site will say how to do that. Do you have any other suggestions on finding Naturalization papers, Intentions to be Citizen or Petitions? I still think those could help on many other relatives I am looking for. Thanks. N.

Hey

No need to send money to the comune unless it is requested

And, here are two sites that list naturalization databases by state

I did two letters on my Great Grandfather. One for birth certificate and one for marriage certificate. I put in same envelope with return envelope addressed to me. I hope this ok. As don't know if he married in town and born or just one of them. I hope this makes sense. I did press translate. N

As I had wrote in my previous message I sent letter to Italy on my Great Grandfather. I sent it On October 22, 2009. I sent it registered mail, return receipt. I thought I would have return receipt back by now. I just wondered if any one else did a letter this way and how long it took to get back a signed receipt or hear from town. I am beginning to think I shouldn't have done the return receipt but post office person told me it would be good idea. Thanks for any feedback. N.
