Hello Elaine, thanks for your email with suggestions. Yes, it was a typo! My ggmother had said she was born at sea (1856-189) , between USA and UK. She had also said her family went to the USA from Italy. Yes, I have checked for various years for BDM's through the fiche available at the LDS libraries. Another message I posted recently more or less told the story - maybe you saw it? I'll keep plugging on with the hope someone else also sees the name EROTTI/ERROTTI/EROTY. However, your suggestions are much appreciated.

That's great way to try to narrow down where your relatives may have come from. I don't think that was the web site I used, though. I did that for my family name of Scaia. There was one area that was most concentrated. Then I put in the maiden name of my relative's wife's maiden name and found there was only one place were both those surnames came together. I figured that people in the late 1700's didn't move around much so I figured that was probably the place. When I came across a death certificate that did have the name of the place of origin it was hard to read but since I already had a name in mind I could interpret it clearly. It turned out that Prezzo was the origin of my distant relatives. I think I would do that again if you had a general idea where your family was from.

Geraldine Gasparelli in London

Hello Geraldine, now I'm really confused :) , let me explain why! For years I have searched census records and bdm fiche at the LDS libraries for the name EROTTI and variants. Also, I've subscribed to the London and Devon lists, the two places given as clues from marriage and birth certs. I've been convinced, and advised by other listers, that the name was probably corrupted by my ggrandmother's family when they landed in London, or wherever, and on the said certs. Briefly, the family is said to have left Italy, gone to USA, left there and ggm was born on the way to England, c1856-59. I've considered all kinds of variants. Recently, I searched 'the other' site (sorry I can't name it now) which has come up on this List and found three ERROTTI'S in the Naples area. An Italian literate friend wrote letters for me but not replies - that was over three months ago. I've also found the name in the Ellis Island database and each follow up leads to a dead end, nobody seems to have the name in their tree any earlier than 1896 or thereabouts. With the 'non existence' find on the 'elenco' site, I am so puzzled. Please don't take this as criticism - I am very grateful you searched for the name on my behalf. I've just about decided to let ggm's line go - I've been at that brickwall for so long now. Oh I no, we family historians can't let go, not really! So, I'll keep watching the List, I've recently joined, and post my name interest from time to time and as the group grows and we become aware of more databases etc., I may just get lucky! Any further comments about the name would be gratefully received.

Hi Glen, Your Nan sounds quite a character! If he was an officer, there is a higher change that he would be mentioned among the limited surviving POW camp war diaries kept at the PRO in series WO166 and other POW records, although it is apparently very difficult to trace individual POWs. Does your Mum's birth certificate give any clues about where her father was living? What about sitting down with Nan with an atlas, to see if any names of towns and villages in Perugia ring any bells? You could then start looking for incidences of the name in the Italian online telephone directories (I think the re are some listed on the AIFHS website at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ukaifhg ). do any other listers have suggestions of routes that have proved successful? Where would records be kept in Italy of Italian POWS? How do you look for Italian service records? good luck Glenn, and please let us know if you find anything - it's important to hear about the success stories as well as the dead ends on this list - we need some inspiration to keep trying!

Does anyone know if there is a database of deaths in London, England during the mid to late 1800s? I have searched on the FreeBMD website. I could write to the general register in England but I don't know what the date of death is and even if it occurred in London. I just have a birth, a name and then there is not record of this person any further. My family is thinking she must have died prior to my family leaving England for Canada. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Mary Converse

Hello to everyone on the mailing list. The database for the Anglo Italian Family History Society is growing day by day.

The only information I have Elaine, is that Joseph Erotti, Musician, is listed on his daughter's marriage certificate in 1976. The 1881 Census lists his daughter, living in Plymouth (where she married), but with London as her birthplace. By her second marriage, as a widow, in 1892, Joseph is listed as deceased.

Hi all Andrea Enrico OTTOLINI m. Hannah Elizabeth BEAN St Ann's RC Leeds 25th Oct 1859. Is anyone researching OTTOLINI please? Thanks Ali

Hello fellow list members. I thought I would give a very brief history of my Italian family as a way of introducing myself: Bortolomeo Scaia born in Prezzo Italy Aug 1860 moved to London England and married Mary Ann Church in 1886. They had 7 children: Dominico Adamo, Bortolomeo Joseph, Antonio James, Guanina Maria, Rosalina Mary Ann, Beatrice Agatha and Fred J. Scaia. The immigration to North America started with my grandfather Dominico in 1904 by way of Ellis Island then Syracuse NY and to to join his uncles (also from Prezzo, Italy) in British Columbia Canada. Eventually all of my grandfather's family moved to the same small area of BC were they lived and died. So that's a very brief history. I'm still working on many parts of the family so if there is anyone out there that shares in this name, give me an e-mail. Mary Converse [email protected]
