Hi Bob,

I think we might distantly be related. My family came from the same area and my last name is Laurenzo. I've built a family tree up as far as I can but am lacking critical information that is only with my family in New York. They have no interest in this sort of thing and it's hard to get a ...

I'll be going through the Los angeles office. Basically all I need now is my great grandparents birth certificates but we're unsure of exactly where they were born...

Hey Stu,

I saw your website. I'm trying to figure out you might be tied to our family. My whole family is from Mechanicville area. I've been asking my cousin who knows that side of the family much more than I do. Who are some of the more recent ties that would still be alive so I can have her ask ...

Thanks Joann!

What is the name of the man on line 24? Pietro....? It says ...

Is ancestry worth paying the price for it? I know I'll likely suck it up and just do it. What's your opinion on the best family tree program as well?

Can anyone help me read the information on lines 4 and 5 of this manifest? I know the name of line 5 is Maria Laurenzo and the woman on line 4 says husband someone Laurenzo. Trying to see if these Laurenzo's are connected and most likely are but also how.

Thank you!

I'm sure we are all related. My family settled in Mechanicville but started in NYC. There is a huge listing for people in Saratoga and Schenectedy....extremely close to where they settled. I have a hard time believing that would be coincidence? I'm trying to get in contact with more family and even ...

anyone, anyone?

laura has done a fantastic job at helping me gain information about my family and I believe I have the information to get the documents I've heard that I needed for dual citizenship or at least Italian passport. Can someone confirm I'm right on the laws?

My great grandfather was born in Italy ...

I'm doing this for hobby, genealogy is of great interest for me....
I'm in Italy so I don't know if I can help to point you in the right directions to request documents in USA, but I can sure advise you to request first the marriage certificate, you have the number and all the dates you need.
