USA phone directory at http://www.infobel.com/usa/ has 293 Ortu, 18 Mameli, no Tiloca, 5 Gaius, and no Cabizzosu listings. Italy phone directory at http://www.infobel.com/italy has 1,413 Ortu listings, 78 of them in Sassari. There are also 45 Mameli, 5 Tiloca, no Gaius, and 12 Cabizzosu in Sassari. There are no Gaius listings in the whole of Italy. The Australia residential phone directory is at http://www.whitepages.com.au/wp/resSearch.jhtml You must search by choosing each state in turn, as well as choosing Metropolitan or Regional Area. So the search is rather slow, but possible. We found 6 listings of Ortu in the Metropolitan Area of the State of Victoria. We will leave it up to you to check the other surnames you listed. If you are interested in other countries' telephone directories, you can go to http://www.infobel.com/teldir/ to find them. Good luck on your search. Joe in Georgetown, Texas, USA
