How do I find out the Petition Volume for the naturalization form? I have the Petition Number and everything else, just not the volume.

Re: DiFresco

Jcsm, I believe the 1910 Census information for Sabina is correct, as well as the naturalization information for Giovanni.

DiFresco

I'm looking for further information about my great-grandfather John (Giovanni) DiFresco, born 28 Sep 1896 in Chieti, Abruzzo, Italy and immigrated to New York around 1912.

Re: DiFresco & Terrazzio

This is pretty confusing.... how can I figure out which one is my great-grandfather? This Census that vj posted shows that Giovanni immigrated in 1912 which confirms what we thought in the first place since the other Giovanni DiFresco immigrated in 1903.

These two are in fact my great-grandparents: Name: Sabina Difresco SSN: 070-36-0909 Last Residence: 10040 New York, New York, New York, United States of Americ...

DiFresco & Terrazzio

My last name is DiFresco and I'm having a hard time tracing my Italian roots. I'm only a quarter Italian... I know that my paternal great-grandparents immigrated from Italy to New York sometime before my grandfather (also named John) was born, which was 1929. Their names were John and Sabina DiFresc...
