I want to thank everyone for their help. I was able to find a living relative and she gave me all the information that I was looking for.

THANKS again

This definitely looks like the individual I was looking for, unfortunately I would like to find a living desendent if possible.

Thanks for all of your hard work thus far

Maybe I should request a paper copy of the marriage cert. maybe there was a typo on the site that I found it on.

I have a problem, my great grandmother had a brother Luigi Mignozzi who came to America with the family, got married, committed a crime and was deported back to Italy; where he married again a had children. I have found the children he had in Italy and from them found out that he had a child here in...

As for Peter, please read the post before you reply next time. They wrote back to me saying that they have la Lista di Leva, why would I need a form letter? That wasn't even my question. But Thank you for telling me what it was.

I already have that information about him. I read his birth certificate already for a mircofilm from the local family center. His grandfather was Francesco. I just need a copy from the town.

Well, it seems like there are a few towns in northern Tuscany that have Cardosi as a last name. Just go here http://gens.labo.net/it/cognomi/ and see for yourself.

I don't believe that is a first name. It is a last name however. Who do you know that is named Barbato?

How did you get information on people alive prior to the Fall of Rome?

Check out his Naturalization records. I would have the town he came from and the correct spelling of his last name.

The date you gave has a bit of coincidence to it. Newsday has an article relating to the last name Sottile, but it is for milestones/births. There is a death notice in 1996 but in July of 1996. Unfortunately, you have to pay to read the article. Go on to Newsday.com and search, they have everything ...
