Hello Jane, one starting point would be to type in Borg on the map on this site to see where the Borgs are situated throughout Italy. You could then use the Italian white pages and maybe write to some of those people. http://66.221.136.107/en/cognomi/ Good luck, Rod [email protected] <http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~rodsaunders> Cassino: Melaragni, Persechini, Lanna/Lanni, D'Agostino.
