I am new to this group so I am not really sure if anyone can help me. I received 2 papers in the mail from a relative that is in Italian. Unfortunately, I don't know any Italian and I don't know anyone that can translate them for me. Is there anyone here that is willing to help in translating them. There are small papers with not much to them. Please e-mail me at princesspooh2 at hotmail dot com. Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide to me.

Hi! First of all, the right surname for Francesca isn't Floris but Flores. There are no Floris in San Vito Lo Capo, but there are Flores. Look here: <http://elenco.libero.it/elencotel/engine/WebPersoneOmonimie?nome=&cognome=flores&localita=S.+VITO%20LO%20CAPO> It's not easy to tell where her marriage certificate may be. Couples normally married in the bride's parrish, so you coul try to look for church registers for the town of San Vito Lo Capo. You can find them, from 1846 to 1910, at the nearest Family History Center. They also have public registers from 1846 to 1910. Good Luck, Fabio On Sun, 13 Jun 2004 16:09:48 +0200, "Off.

Nunc cognosco ex parte" Yes, that is another possibility, Muratori instead of Muratorio. But either one could be right. Until we find a ship immigration manifest with the gentleman in question on it, there is no surety as to which is right. We will look for both names. Thanks for the suggestion. Hope the answer is Muratorio instead of Muratori. :) There are hundreds of Muratori in both the Italy and the US. There are only 46 Muratorio in Italy, and none in the US> And Moriarity listings are also innumberable in the US in phone listings and other genealogy sources. Hard to pinpoint a person. The hunt goes on! Joe in Georgetown, Texas

Angelo Muratorio Cittariova, Italy 1913 36 2. Attilio Muratorio Genova, Italy 1920 20 3. Guido Muratorio Castiglione, Italy 1908 18 There are 3 Muratorio listed in Genova in the Italy phone directory found at http://www.infobel.com/italy You can see the distribution of the name in Italy by going to the site http://www.gens.labo.net/ ================================================== Joe Pessarra in Texas

Thank you One family that I am told are cousins to my father spell their name with one "c" . Isernia was stated as residence on Ellis Island ship manifest on arrival of Greatgrandfather (Paris) and ggrandmother (Italia) their son (Giuseppe). Another area listed is Massa martana by his brother (Pio) and Gualdo Cattaneo by nephew (Primo) and cousin (Pompelio) as cities they came from. Umbia/Perguia is a definite. Great Grandfather Paris returned to Italy to reside around late 30's after second wife died. I find that the realative with one c also returned to Italy. I have reason to believe uncles and cousins resided in Ont Canada per ship manifest of Pio there are still Pagliocchini's in Canada Some names come up on the internet in BC Canada. Reason for tracking Canada, Grandfather (August) disappeared in 30's was hoping he may have gone to Canada where other relatives located. <>< Joann "Fabio Parri" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected] > Pagliocchini is a very rare surname, there are only 7 of them on the > Italian phonebook. > > 4 of them live in the commune of Rome: > <http://elenco.libero.it/elencotel/engine/WebPersoneOmonimie?nome=&cognome=p agliocchini&localita=ROMA>, > which is in Lazio region. they could most probably be relatives, given > the very small number of Pagliocchini's in Italy. > > 3 other ones, the most interesting ones for you, live in the Perugia > area, in the communes of Assisi, Bastia and Sellano: > <http://elenco.libero.it/elencotel/public/RisultatoComuni.jsp?nome=&cognome= pagliocchini&provincia=PG&prov=PERUGIA> > Isernia is not near Perugia, in the Umbria region, but in the Molise > region.
