For years now I have been searching for the orgin of my grandparents. I know they came from Italy but have no idea WHERE in Italy. It "almost" has me on the verge of a break down ö. If anyone can help, I, and my family would be so very appreciate it. i never knew my grandfather, grandmother, father and aunt. As far as I know, all 4 have passed away and only my 3 brothers and 2 sisters are from the DeMarino side of the family. This is where all my research has begun and ended. GRANDFATHER Guiseppe DeMarino "De" on marriage records...DeMarino & Mereno on death cert., Mereno on SS app. Born---July 9,1883---Italy Died---Oct.3,1968--- SanLeandro, Calif. Father---Francis Mother---Rose K.???? Came to USA 1909-1912 Settled in Milwaukee,Wisconsin GRANDMOTHER Armida Anita Papi(s) Born---May 9 1896---Italy Died---Dec.12,1961---SanLeandro, Calif. Father---Guiseppe Papi(s) Mother---Anna N.???? Came to USA 1913 to marry my grandfather.(An arranged marriage) Married Feb.13,1913--Milwaukee,Wi. Father Clarence Marino Born---Jan.28,1916 No "DE" on birth cert. Died---Dec.3,1980---Alameda,Ca Aunt Kay?? born 1914, Mil.Wi. The family moved to Altoona, Pa. and were there in the 20's or 30,s. Moved to Calif in middle 40's . I do have 3 town's that show up on different documents but I was told there are no towns with these names in Italy. I do know my grandmother spoke french also. These towns are.. CREVE TIRENNZE, Italy SINLAO, Italy SAN MARINO, Italy. I checked the Republic of SanMarino This is the extent of my knowledge about my Italian family. My brother and I have talked about going to Italy to visit but until we know where the family were from,I really can't see taking the trip of a life time. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks,Dee In Texas ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the EV1 webmail system at mail.ev1.net ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the EV1 webmail system at mail.ev1.net

You can find them by going to this site. http://www.multimap.com Could not find the other two towns. Will do some more searching and get back to you. Ellis Island records are at http://www.ellisisland.org. They show 5 Giuseppe DeMarino listings. Here are three that might fit. Especially the last one, using your birthdate info of 1883. The first name is mispelled. Giuseppe DeMarino Casamassima, Italy 1907 22 Giuseppe Demarino Florence, Italy 1911 32 Guiseppe DeMarino Tapoli, Italy 1920 27 Could not locate a record for Armida Anita Papi(s) Joe in Georgetown, Texas
