Hi, This is a nice genealogy web site! I noticed some people's ancestors were from Termini Imerese, Sicily. My father's family (Geraci/Marcellino) is from there also. I would strongly encourage anyone with relatives from Termini to take a look at the following web site (if you haven't already): http://www.termini-imerese.org/ This is a web site all about Termini Imerese genealogy and heritage/culture. There is a great surname database and also an email mailing list with over 100+ other people researching family from Termini. It's free and we're always looking for more people who might know something about this topic or have something to add (even if it's a good canolli recipe!). Please join us! Ken Geraci

I have been looking for info on my ancestors from Castelcivitta, Salerno Province, Italy. Surname is Marra. I believe they came to US between the years 1890 and 1900. My greatgrandparents were Philip and Teresa Marra and they settled in Watertown, NY with their 4 sons: Joseph, Peter, James and my grandfather Frank (Horatio or Orazio). I have found info on my grandfather and his brothers through Watertown cemetary records, but have been unable to find anything on greatgrandparents, such as dates of death or burial place. I know there are still Marras in Watertown, but I'm not sure which ones, if any, are related. Anyone out there doing similar research??? Please e-mail me. Thanks!

I'm looking for information about the DALTOS from TEGGIANO, the CUIFFOS and PELLEGRINOS from SANZA. My Grandmother, Rafaella Dalto, was married to Cono Russo at the Church of Saint Cono in Teggiano in approximately the 1890's. My grandfater came to NY City around 1900 and was drafted into WWI. My father, Michael Pellegrino, came to NYC at age five in 1913 with his sister, Mary, who was about 8 at the time. My father's mother, Angela Pellegrino, died in Sanza just before the children were sent for by her husband Biaggio. Does anyone have any information about imigration records, ships, etc. in NYC at that time? Any info about researching relatives in Sanza or Teggiano? Thanks so much.

This is my first time at your website. It's great! Tried clicking on "Sicilian Towns", but the page wouldn't display. Disapointed. My great grandparents are Joseph Marietta and Maria Carrera from Corio, Piemonte. My Husband's grandparents are Calogero Nestler from Enna, Sicily and Maria Nardi from Dipignano, Calabria. Yes, The surname, Nestler, originates from Germany; but in this family has been in Sicily since about 1600's-1700's, originating with the first Nestler from Germany (Bavaria), Cristoforo Nestler. There are still some cousin's in Sicily and in Rome. My Husband has much info from the old country about his family, but I have very little. Would love to hear any info about the regions of Corio, Enna, Dipignano and anything about these surnames. Thanks!

I am a freelance writer, currently writing a mystery set in the 1940s in Trenton, New Jersey. In doing research I discovered that I don't know much about my own family background. So anyone related (and I know there are many cousins out there) or a family friend, any help would be appreciated. My family name is MUCCIE (Italian name Micuccio). My mom's father was Frank Muccie and had 11 kids, all in Trenton. My grandmom was named Guiseppina Tunnillo (changed to Josephine Tummillo). In 1940 she married Peter Barber (Barbero) who came here from central Italy after WWI. I know next to nothing about my grandparents and great-grandparents. My mom (Annina Micuccio) married an Englishman and was an outcast! I do know that the family hustory begins in Trenton in the late 1800s with Tummillo coming here in the 1920s.

Hello - I am attempting to locate Italian ancestors related to my grandparents - Salvatore Romagna (born Dec 24/1881) and Ceasara (Cira)Romagna (nee Tamburini - born Feb 8, 1890). Salvatore arrived in Montreal, PQ, Canada in 1908 and Cira followed in 1911. His brother Lazarro Romagna came in USA in 1906 and settled in Niantic, Connecticut. Both Salvatore and Lazarro had large families and my mother Nella is the youngest daughter of Salvatore (born 1923). We believe the birthplace of the Romagna brothers (and possibly a sister)was either Fano or Pesaro, Italy. Their parents were Guiseppe and Barbara Romagna (for whom I am named). My grandmother - Cira Tamburini had a brother Primo Tamburini and a sister Anna who married Mr Giangolini. We believe that Anna Giangolini had two daughters and that one was named Maria (born early 1920s?). It would be wonderful to locate some living relatives of either the Romagna or Tamburini families still located there. I had the opportunity to visit the Adriatic coast of Italy last year and the Emilia Romagna region. Pesaro is also located near here but I did not visit the town. However I plan to return in May, 2001 and would welcome the opportunity to meet with any distant relatives. Thank you to anyone who can put me in touch. Barbara Morton - Toronto - Canada

Hi, the (great great grandparents) of my grandfather "Aurelio Federico" emigrated to Sonora, Mexico (San Antonio de Oquitoa) from "Palermo, Sicily" along with many other Italian families to work in the Silver and Copper mines of the SouthWest. I know that some of our relatives opted to work and live in New York instead at that same time. Many of the Italian Families moved to Arizona and purchased land after many years, including my family. Some Federico's from "Back East" visited with my Grandfather in the mid 1960's but that is the last I heard. I was Just wondering if there are any other FEDERICO families who know more about the family history and any possible connections to the South West Federico Family. Thanks, Anthony Federico Sanchez

Your website is wonderful!! I have found many relatives and some just returned from Italy with news of my fathers sisters, they surely must be in their 90's.I also have aided some on this site by suggesting alternate ways of finding their relatives through telephone and mail address searches, I found 15 Pezzanities (relatives of mine) in various parts of Australia . Many Italians immigrated to that Continent. If anyone needs help on this just e-mail me!! Thanks again for the website,IT'S GREAT!!!! Gerry

My maternal grandfather was ANDREA DASSO, born in the village of Santa Giulia near the city of Chiavari(between Genoa and La Spezia)in the Liguria region. He came to America in the second half of 19th century. His mother's maiden surname was COLOMBO, and she was from the same region. Any comments by anybody connected to name or the region are welcome.
