[stephyb]

hello

My familly on my fathers side was pretty mcuh given the last name Bonaparte, they were from a small town close toCalabria, does anyone have information on a Joseph Bonaparte. I believe the father of Joseph was a priest.

Hi Stephyb,

Try to give as much detail information as you can. Was your father born in Italy and came to USA or your grandfather? Was Joseph your grandfather, great grandfather etc. When did he come to USA, what was his wifes full name, where did they live etc.

This way people will be able to help you search.

Regards,
Elizabeth
