Try only using the first few letters or variants. That helped me. I had to find Dellangelica and I looked for a long time... finally I found it putting in just "dell" and it came up dell'angelica. ----- Original Message ----- From: <BlackieV@webtv.net> To: <> Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 8:17 PM Subject: Assistance ; > I am unable to find My father on the Ellisiland records . > I know he came in 1913 sailed from Naples on July 30 , 1913 on the S S > Taormina > Also how do I get them to correct there records of my mother as they > misspelled her last name and the name of the town she came from. > Grazia > Frank V. > > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > > --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi Frank I know very little about it but would be surprised if they corrected the spelling. Mis-spelling were very common. Your fathers name may also be mis-spelled and so badly that you may not even recognize it yourself.
