A post on SCBATTLES-L said that there was reference, in a speech to the Sons of Italy, to there being 3 regiments of Italians during the Revolution. Anyone ever heard of such?

As ridiculous as this may sound, and I know this may be going through the back door on this question taking the long way around, but I have found 93 Catholic parishes within South Carolina, with the Diocese being located within Charleston SC. If one wanted online to zero in on exactly which parish these Italians possibily had their community, I bet one could find those parishs which held those documents of birth, etc. Rhonda Houston http://www.parishesonline.com/ http://www.parishesonline.com/#searchCityState http://www.parishesonline.com/Scripts/dbsearch_GenURLMap.asp -----Original Message----- From: John Robertson [mailto:jr@jrshelby.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2001 10:59 AM To: AMERICAN-REVOLUTION-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [A-REV] Italian regiments?

John: That's one of those old wives tales that have been floating around for ? knows how long. Kind of like German losing out on being our national language by one vote, Washington and Hamilton being gay lovers, etc, etc ad nauseum Best regards, Ed -- For Revolutionary War information on the Internet, your first choice should be AMERICANREVOLUTION.ORG
