Thank you all...this is a great place to start & I have turned my friends & family on to it as well

Patti,

It is really so sad a generation that did so much for the world and NOBODY knows how we were treated.

Italians were the largest ethnic group to fight in any WAR. WWII we made up 7% of the soilders. No other nationality has done that. We had to prove our loyality and devotion to this country ...

Both but I am most interested in Italian records especially if I can surf through them in the english language since I do not read italian.

The sites I have found are mostly in Italian & my mom translates when she is over.

As many Americans of Italian decent...

My grandparents were born in Italy ...

My grandparents came to NY in the early 1900's

Giovanni Monti (Casa Micci) married Maria Broccoli (Ischia)

Edwardo Ciuccio (Naples) Married Rosaria Curatolo (Sicily, Castellemare Del Gulfo)

Any help would be appreciated.
