Are you looking for an Italian surname? Do you need more information about your family heritage?
This is the right place to start your genealogy search.
I need a little direction, perhaps a few suggestions.
I know that my grandfather was born here in the US-Manhattan (Gerardo Bartolomeo)
I know that his parents were born in Italy.
I don't know his birth date, only that he was born 1901 (per census records).
I do know his date of death is: Jan 7, 1968
I have his death certificate number; however, since he's only been gone for 42 years, I can't order it without his parents name (which I don't know)....
Just need some ideas on how I can go about finding out his parents names...
Thank you Michael - seems my critical thinking skills leave much to be desired. I never would have guessed that he would have traveled to Italy when he was born in NY....
Unfortunately - I have little to no information...I can't find any census records for 1910, 1920 (using Gerardo as the search key) and I don't know his parents names so I don't know if they were naturalized or not.
I want to order his birth certificate, but I'm not clear on the language on the NYC site regarding year searches - it seems it can be very costly...and If I don't have enough information I may be wasting my time and money.
Perhaps you have a suggestion of places I can search for his name that may yield me his parents names.

Thanks for all the info - I already have all of this...unfortunately, nothing is pointing me to his parents names.
I did order his SS application (without the SSN it's $29.00 - which seems reasonable). Not sure how long it will take to get it and I will place an order for his birth certificate.
If anyone has any other suggestions how I might find his parents (without waiting for the documents) - it would be greatly appreciated
you could have requested his information from SocialSecurity on line with a credit card. www.ssa.gov/foia/html/foia_guide.htm under MAKE YOUR REQUEST ONLINE. =Peter=
Hi, the two marriage records I obtained from New York, one 1915 and one for 1920 also had a copy of the application on the back with the names of the parents.
You could give it a try when you request the marriage record.

The name Italia, probably a Graecized form of Italic Vitelia (='calf land'), was originally restricted to the southern half of the 'toe' but was gradually extended. By 450 B.C. It meant the region subsequently inhabited by the Bruttii; by 400 it embraced Lucania as well. Campania was included after ...
