Hello! I am trying to get information on my grandmothers family. Last name is Fortino. Her first name is Jennie and had brothers, Ralph, Frankie, Steve, and sisters, Levia, Carmella, Rose(Dolly). Her parents names were John and Nancy. They came through Ellis Island from Italy, sometime in 1904-1908. I am trying to find out what area of Italy they are from. I am thinking that Johns parents were Rafella and Carmine. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am searching for family and news of my grandfather, Domenico Lattanzi, born in Bisenti in 1885. He came to America about 1899, married Laura Gambardello (her family from Naples), and settled finally in Baltimore as a tailor with his family of two sons and two daughters (Elisa, Victor, Josephine, and Emil).

I am looking for relatives in Lanciano. My grandfather, Giovanni Ciccocioppo, left Lanciano early 1900s. His wife was Isabell Nasuti and I think they were married in Lanciano. They came to America and lived in NYC. I know he left a brother in Lanciano and I think his name was Nicolo. My mother visited Lanciano in the 70s so I know there is some family there. I visited Lanciano last year but was not successful in finding relatives. Thank you.

Ciao a tutti, spero che capirete questo messaggio perche il mio inglese scritto non è abbastanza chiaro. Vivo in Australia da sei anni, naturalmente vengo dall Italia la mia citta e Pescara! Mi sono trasferita da poco a North Richmond e non conosco nessuno. Lo so che questo non è tanto attinente a questo sito, ma ho pensato che questa poteva essere una oppotunita per conoscere qualche italiano! Spero che qualcuno sappia leggere questo messaggio, mi scordavo di dirvi che io parlo e leggo l'inglese! A presto Luisa.

This is a great site, and I have received e-mail and phone calls because of the connection to this site and hope I receive more looking for the surname Di Panfilo Family. I am a 1st generation American of Italian descent and am now 84 years of age and in good health. My latest e-mail is from Australia. I keep hoping that I can hear from a "Di Panfilo" so that I can finally say hello to a "cugino" of mine.
