I want to find the Italian family from my father. My great grandfather Giovanni Franceschini came to Argentina maybe in 1886 with my great grand mother Elvira Foschi,he was born in Italy, Toscana, Lucca, Lucca. Maybe in 1866, I am not sure. I want to know who were his father and mother, if he had brothers or sisters. I want to find my Italian relatives. Can you help me? Thank you very much nora Franceschini Bariloche Argentina

Hi Nora, Do you know wether your g-gradfather left any relatives in Italy ? Here are the Franceschini on the phonebook who live in the province of Lucca: <http://elenco.libero.it/elencotel/public/RisultatoComuni.jsp?nome=&cognome=franceschini&provincia=LU&prov=LUCCA> and here are the Foschi: <http://elenco.libero.it/elencotel/public/RisultatoComuni.jsp?nome=&cognome=foschi&provincia=LU&prov=LUCCA> Also, you may want to write to the State Archive of Lucca and ask them if they can search your relative's data. Here's their email: <[email protected]> Good Luck, Fabio On 20 Jun 2004 15:35:17 -0700, [email protected] (nora) wrote: >I want to find the Italian family from my father. >My great grandfather Giovanni Franceschini came to Argentina maybe in >1886 with my great grand mother Elvira Foschi,he was born in Italy, >Toscana, Lucca, Lucca. >Maybe in 1866, I am not sure. >I want to know who were his father and mother, if he had brothers or >sisters. >I want to find my Italian relatives. >Can you help me? >Thank you very much >nora Franceschini >Bariloche >Argentina
