Goggio/Leva from Bassignana

I figure this is a long shot since it's now 2011 and this thread is from 2007.. but my great-grandfather is Frank/Francesco Goggio. My grandfather is Louis/Luigi Goggio. I've been doing some research into my family history and I'm so thankful to find this thread. I know very little about how the Goggios got to the US. I was also surprised to find that my grandfather was born in Italy when I was only told that his sister Teresa was. I don't know what connection you have to Emilia/Amelia but she was my great-grandmother. I can only assume my grandfather would be your great-uncle if your grandfather was Frankie or Johnie. Please get back to me if you receive this!!

I can't believe you found this link! I've been checking it for three years! Yes, my grandfather was Johnnie (Giovanni), my great-grandmother was Amelia (Emilia) and my great-grandfather was Frank (Francesco). I'd be happy to share all the information I have with you (which isn't much). Reading films in Italian at the LDS geneology room is SLOW. I have the Ellis Island records where the family came over, the census records when the kids were small, Emilia's death certificate, place of burial, etc.
