Hi
A relative has found my great grandfather's brother on a census 1881 and place of birth is listed as, something like:
Corlisater
Cobsater
Culisater
An elderly relative told him that he had visited the family in the 1920's staying on the farm near Pontremoli.
does anyone know if there is a place near Pontremoli that is anything like the above names. Obviously they could be nothing like the spelling as the enumerator probably wouldn't have had a clue how to spell it!!
This is my first breakthrough finding a relative of my great grandfathers brother so 'everything comes to he who waits'!!!!

Joy, for better help you, say us the surname and show us the census image, because is better to read it directly... regards, suanj
