Hi mler!
What you did is really interesting. How did you go about finding the website for the town?

Louis

Hi Marlene! The only clue I have is my grand-father's birth certificate indicating that his mother's maiden name was Borelli and a letter from my aunt saying that Celestine's father ran an Inn in the town of Parma. If I find any west coast connection I will contact you. Good luck in your search. Louis

Thank you Livio.

I need to find some record for her or her father to confirm how they spelled it. I only have the word of an aunt from 20 years ago that said it was ...

Thanks for the great info. You're the best.

Hi Everyone! I need your help again. My great-grand-mother was born in or around Parma, Italy abt 12 Oct 1858. She was born Celestine Josephine Borelli or Borrelli. this is the big question, How was the surname spelled? Her father's name was Joseph and supposedly he ran an Inn in or around Parma. Sh...

I have been able to obtain a few manifest for my family so far. I am unsure of who actually fills them out and how they get the info. Would appreciate finding out about the process if someone knows. Someone has also made a statement about the markings on the manifest for one of my grandmothers, as h...

Thanks for your input Wildspirit. Hope I can figure out how to use the page.
