I am trying to trace the orgins of Joseph Baldaro born c1803 in Italy. I have no records of his parents, but he lived in Gloucester, England with his family. Any idea on where to check immigrants etc would be great. Claire

Hi Mike, Yes, very common. It means there is a correction to the 'boxed' entry. Usually somewhere on the document, usually the margin, is another plus sign with additonal correct information, plus the name of the person who made the correction.

You really need to know what town your Scala came from in Italy. By the way, which country are you in at present? That makes a lot of difference as to what advice is useful to give to you. You could do an Internet search for Argentina+Italy+genealogy, and you will get many hits, some of which might be useful to you in your family research. Good luck.

Not long ago I started working on my family tree. Very pleasant work, but it so happens I no longer live in the same country where my ancestors immigrated to. That makes my research even more difficult. At this time I'm trying to find any link to Mr. Luis Eduardo Casares Scala, who I assume was born in Argentina to Italian parents and later immigrated to Brazil, where he got married to Amelia da Camara Paradeda in 1892 and gave birth to Sebastiao Camara Scala in 1894. Amelia died a few days after she gave birth to their only only child who was given for adoption and never got to meet his biologial father until he died in 1977. Because he never met his father, I, his grandson, have no idea where my real family is and I've been searching either in Brazil and Argentina, but would like to extend this search to Italy. Would anybody have any information to provide? Or clues that would lead me to the right path? Any help is appreciated. Cheers, Robert Scala
