Hi saunj,

Amazing and thank you. I am interested in Luigi and Mary's son John William Orso and about how he went to South Africa with his father Luigi and his brother Secondo. The link to familysearch for John William gives just the smallest of details for me. Are you able to see his birth ...

Dark horse,

This is so interesting. I am going to talk to my Dad to see if this jogs any memories for him . He's always maintained the brother went to the US. I think he said that his dad visited his uncle in US, which could have been Luigi. I need a little time to write all this down and make ...

I am in London and with limited time to spend on this research. I had a nice exchange of emails with Caroline (see previous posts) but have still not found the time to visit the ...

Thank you all so much! what a response. there is plenty for me to digest.

I checked with my Dad but the names don't mean anything to him and all other family are gone, so I need to start digging.

Please can you advise how to proceed next? Do you have any advice on contacting records offices in ...
