I don't have a lot of details. My mom didn't know a lot and some of what she thought she knew was wrong. I know both of their birth dates and that they came from Lucca. I have found some things on my grandfather, whom I never met, but nothing on my grandmother. It's almost like she didn't exist, which I know she did because I spent time with her until she died when I was 15.

I would buy copies of their death certificates and if you don't already have it your mothers birth cert. It could be that your grandmother was called by a different name to what was her official name. Also her surname could have been mispelt.I guess you are in US due to 'Mom' ? So not so easy to get to Lucca. I had problems like you and then found relatives in Canada and US who could tell me the correct family surname! I then found the family were from the top corner of Tuscany and off I went..... The records office there gave me full family details for 4 generations. Good luck with your search.Joy
