Peter (English accent) is a volunteer there... and always helpful. Please do call this location and see if there are other FHC in Toronto...

--------------
Looks like we've lost 2 FHC's (Family History Centers) since I last checked.
--------------
You could call the reference Library at Yonge and Bloor... film can be ordered there. Get in touch with someone from the "Special Collections Dept."

I just spoke to someone from the big North York Library. He told me that the only library in our city that will carry FHC film is the Reference Library mentioned above. Wow... you'd think there would be more locations in a big city like Toronto.
-------------
Well... the Reference Library near Yonge & Bloor is your best choice... a easy place to get to from the subway.
------------
Let me know how this works out.

further... as far as I know... you can't order film by phone... you order in person at the library... pay in advance... then wait... they will call you when the film arrives.

Which town are you going to research first?

Help! I found a cousin in Italy, and I have his fax number. His brother has email but he doesn't know what it is. He has asked me to fax what I need over to me and he will reply, then we were cut off.

Can someone help me write a simple letter?

I would like to say something like:

Dear Cousin,
Happy New Year and hope you and your family are well. I am looking for some information about our grandparents and hope you might help. If you can send me your brothers email address or email me at-----------then I can send you my request.
Give my best to everyone!
Your Cousin,



Can anyone one this forum help with this please? Thanks!

[mfjp]

Ok... I'll give it a shot...

So......... if anyone can correct this ... go for it...

Thanks..Much better then I would have done (unless of course you count Calabrese.) Iam capable of butchering the written as well as the speech!

[mfjp]

As for speaking Calabrese... ever listen to Pasquale and Rosina? A must have CD is Pistola 101...

There is a 1910 census for John Polito although I can't find it. It's Seguendo, Las Animas, Colorado on Apr 25, 1910 page 131A....Does anyone know what that means? Can anyone find it for me, please?

Fax off to Italy...thanks Maria. With any luck I will have some information on the Angillettas and the Fudas soon!!!

[mfjp]

Was this an Ancestry .com search??

I can't find it either, though the search was short.... I would need exact spelling of everything...

There are just too many subdivisions...

Is there any other info you can provide... Precinct # etc... year of birth they have for him...

Is it Segundo... or Seguendo (spelling seems to be correct too)?

maria

[nuccia]

I'm not sure of the spelling. Someone I located in Arizona sent me his notes on the Macchiones and the 1910 census was listed with both Vincenza and John on it. I just emailed him to see if he has a copy and where he got it. Although he lists it as Segundo Precinct. Year of birth is the same as I have (but he could have gotten that from me)1885...

Also, I read somewhere that if someone died prior to 1963, then they would not have a SSN listing...do you know if there is any truth to that?

[nuccia]

Maria,
I sent you a private message.

[nuccia]

I'm trying to view this manifest, and as usual, its someone else's. Can you look this up for me and link it, please? I can never use the stevemorse site properly!

Hi!

Found the manifest... saved it as a jpeg file... problem is... imageshack isn't loading... or hasn't loaded for a bit this evening...

There's another site that works like imageshack.... just can't remember...

Will check to see if it is running soon...

If using Steve Morse's site, it is best to use Firefox internet browser... it's so much faster than Safari or Explorer...


Here's the manifest of Domenico Fuda

Well, after almost four months of searching for John Polito and still waiting for a reply from Colorado, I have located John's great newphew. He was able to confirm John's death to be prior to 1954. It appears John died in a powerline accident while helping to move a house.

He will be providing me with more information once he speaks to the rest of his family and gets the details some time today.

I just wanted to share this with you all! Thanks for your help...especially you Maria! I owe you lunch for sure and no kid's meals either!!

Nuccia

[mfjp]

Thank you! well ok... I shall look forward to a Happy Meal instead... and a Sling...

Glad that you've done well with your research too.... nice to see you help others at the forum... we all win...
