Josephine's immigration year is listed as 1920 with daughter Mary b. 1903 Italy. I goofed, birth year should be 1913.

Let us know what you think.

On what website did you use to find my great-grandfather's (Dominick) WWI Draft Registration card? And is there a way I can find WWI resgistration cards from Italy? My great-uncle Natale Princi served in the Italian military during WWI and later moved to Lockport, NY, USA.

Got the records from ancestry.com. It's a pay site, but they run trials all the time.

I think you can write/email the Central Archive in Italy for military records>>>

Sorry. I messed that last question up. Natale was my great-great-uncle and he served in the US military during WWI. I know I can get US WWI Draft Records at Ancestry.com, but the problem is, I'm only 16 and I can't afford to be a member so could anybody please help me by finding Natale Princi's WWI Draft Registration Card. I found it on Ancestry.com's search but I couldn't access it because I'm not a paying member. I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks again!
I provided a picture of my great-great-uncle Natale Princi in his WWI uniform too. (I tought it might be interesting)

Yea. I love doing genealogy research! My grandparents love that I'm doing it because they have no clue how to use a computer. lol. I find it very interesting and I have many more pictures of my ancestors that I think are so cool to look at. This research has even taught my own grandparents things about their parents that they didn't even know! This is a great website!

I have a question about my realitve Natale Princi (as seen in the posted picture). I can't find him or his wife Grace Princi in the 1930 US Census on Ancestry.com. I know they were married in 1930 and I cant't find them anywhere. Grace is Domenico Scapelliti's (my paternal great-grandfather) sister so her name could be under Grace Scapelliti. I also know that Grace is the Americanized version of her first name. On her gravestone, it says her name is something like "Grazia". Anyways, I can't find either Grace (Scapelliti) Princi or her husband Natale Princi. Can anybody help? Thanks.
