Re: looking for grandfathers siblings,
Hello,
I suggest you to write to Ogliastro civil record office and request all birth records of Antonio Ruggiero and Maria Esposito children
Write your request in Italian, add to your request a photocopy of your ID + an envelope + an international reply coupon, so you are sure they are going to answer you back...
this is the address:
Comune
Ufficio di Stato Civile
Via Mazzini 16
84061 Ogliastro Cilento (SA)
Italy
or contact Archivio di Stato di Salerno

I hope it helps, bye Riccardo

Re: looking for grandfathers siblings,
Lillian,
Great advice from Riccardo (always)!
It's terrific that you have your family's town in Italy.
(some of us have been looking quite awhile so we can write those letters!)
A couple of questions on your family in the US?
Might help with finding some g.uncles & g.aunts in the meantime ...
Thanks, vj
