But if they arrived before the late 1890s, the manifest won't include their town. You can also enter his last name into the Cognome box at https://www.cognomix.it/mappe-dei-cognomi-italiani to see where that name is found in Italy. If you get lucky, the name may be specific to only a few towns. It's also possible to find a hometown on naturalization papers, passport applications, and draft registration cards (I made a big discovery on a WW2 card).<br /><br />It's possible his parents names were the same as his eldest son and daughter, since that's the Italian tradition. That holds true for me in much of my family. My parents seem to be the only ones who didn't know the rules.<br /><br />Yes, the books are in Italian. The family listings are not difficult to understand, with the help of Google Translate. I picked out a few interesting facts from the other sections of the book, but I know there is more in there than I need to translate.DiAnn Iamarino Ohamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415937464194290775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078973036927209827.post-34923553772632133842020-09-23T21:47:18.489-04:002020-09-23T21:47:18.489-04:00Hi DiAnn,

I have found a couple of errors in the index, but that could be due to a change in the galleys late in the process.DiAnn Iamarino Ohamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415937464194290775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078973036927209827.post-50650066961999802992020-09-22T12:06:13.234-04:002020-09-22T12:06:13.234-04:00Do you still verify what you find in the book, whe...Do you still verify what you find in the book, when documents become available for all to see? I had a booklet from a researcher about my little ancestral village in Alsace. Now that the documents are finally available on line, I can find many errors. Probably "happy fingers" when taking notes to prepare the booklet at the time. But I am glad I am going back to verify. I too wish the little towns around Bergamo would have something that goes before 1860. There are also no documents there from the era of Napoleon.
