Hello,I am an Italian American who is trying to learn about his family history; unfortunately, most of my extended, Italian-American family is deceased. I have learned bits and pieces from my sister, who was in Italy recently.
Hello, Emanuele,I actually went to the Ellis Island site, and they did have Angelos. Unfortunately, I don't have either of my grandparents' first names or dates of birth, which you really need. Apparently a lot of valuable info was thrown out by some person who didn't know any better. But my mother, or one of Dad's few remaining living relatives, may know my grandparent's first names.Thanks for your suggestions,Tom Angelo,Brooklyn NY
Russ, Although I've never been out of the USA (except Canada), Italy will be my first destination as soon as I get time to take a real vacation from my job. Thanks for giving me a specific starting point (Perscara), as I'm really travelling totally blind here.
Thank you for your rely, Russ. To show you how ignorant I am of Italy, a country I have yet to visit, I didn't know that Abruzzo had regions! But I will try the sources you recommend.Tom
