Are you looking for an Italian surname? Do you need more information about your family heritage?
This is the right place to start your genealogy search.
Maria,
Agree, manifests are great!!!
Maybe a search for Alfieri, Alfiesi, Altieri from the same town on Ellis?
(I tried, I'm having no luck...)

What if her surname is Alfonsi or something like that... just like the "Alphonse" brother in law mentioned in this census record that Nuccia located... see page 2??

Are you looking for Italian records then?? We don't have access to Italian documents here on the internet...
If you visit your Italian town hall... you could ask for records... each town is different... you could write letters and ask for specific documents...
You could research from a Family History Center.... you can order film of civil records, church records etc... (if they exist) of your town...
I am very grateful for the information I have received, and it is a lot. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful. I guess I am just a tad bit greedy. Alphonse is a brother-in-law according to my dad - Rosa's brother. That is all I know, and I didn't know about a brother-in-law at all. My grandmother passed in 2000, along with all her knowledge, though, I don't think she would support my research very much. I think she wanted the past to be the past. I have received promises for more information from her neices and nephews, but no actual information. It has been a few months since I asked, and I have repeated my requests a few times. I have decided I am doing this on my own. They all live in or near Boston, MA, and I am in Portland, Oregon, and way too broke to travel. My knowledge is very limited, unfortunately. I am very glad I found this site.
Hello. I'm reading very carefully this blog cause may be you're part of the family who moved to USA beginning of last century. Mu name is Fabio Castaldini. I was born in Sant'Agostino ( Ferrara) near Cento. I remember my father Enrico told me about the Castaldini moved in Boston. He told me about the brother of my grandfather Medardo. Unfortunately I have no letters or something that can help me with details. May be he was Angelo with Rosa. it would be very nice to discover this peace of history of our family. in case you read this msg you may reply to faye_it@yahoo.it that is my email. kind regards . Fabio
