I have had many relatives that have come here from Sicily and Italy. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they had to go through to get here. How long was the trip. (late 1800's very early 1900's). What kind of conditions did they have to deal with? How much luggage could you bring? I have s...

I was wondering if you would be able to answer this question for me. I found this online... Founded in 1752 by Giuseppe Emanuele Ventimiglia, the town "BELMONTE MEZZAGNO" was burned down in 1848 by the Bourbons in order to punish the inhabitants for their part in the revolutionary uprising...

My family's last name is Bottino. While doing research, ancestry.com tells me that it comes from Botto which comes from Botta which comes from Botte. I know my family has had this last name for many generations. I know last names were given based on certain aspects of that person's life, region, or ...

LONG SHOT... I am looking for information on Giovannina/Giovanna Asciutto or Bottino. (Bottino was her married name). My great grandfather married her first and had children by her, and then left her to be with her sister who is my great grandmother. No one knows why or how, but i'm looking for reco...

I dont mean to be a pain but this record is the first record anyone in my family has ever been able to get a hold of. The information in this, is information even my oldest relatives never knew of. Is there any more legible information or dates that can help me go back further?

Thank you for translating that so quickly.
Although I am a big confused.

Giuseppe age 36 and Rosaria Lepanto age 27 gave birth to a son by the name of Giuseppe on October 1, 1867.
Giuseppe age 36 had a father by the name of Stefano
Rosaria Lepanto age 27 had a father by the name of Giuseppe?

Thanks to a fellow italiangenealogy member, I now have what I believe to be a record for my great grandfather Giuseppe Bottino. However due to language barriers I cannot understand it in its entirety. Would Anyone allow me to email them the record, seeing as i am having trouble attaching it. Thank y...

I know this is such a long shot.... My great grandparents both came to America from Belmonte Mezzagno, Sicily. Unfortunately the trail stops there. I know they must have had brothers and sisters and my wish is to find out the names of my great great grandparents. My question is, how do I go about re...

No unfortunately thats not their census. My nana wasnt yet born in the 1930 census, so I was able to find her families. They were under BEATTINO, which is a mispell. However I looked under every possible mispelling of her last name and NODDA. How could ancestry or the other websites not have here? a...

I have been DESPERATELY trying to find a record of my Nana's birth. She is the youngest child and the rest of her brothers and sisters birth certificates are found easily online. Her maiden name was Rose Bottino. She was born April 21st, 1930. Most likely in Streator, IL or Chicago, IL. I am so desp...
