Thanks James

problem is not exactly positive of where he was born believe it may be the region of Faenza/ Ravenna/ place maybe even called Glorie in the region around there. Was hoping to find an online search site via names that might have tied up to mine as have the year within one year either ...

Are you saying that the correct spelling is Hoyown Glate ??? If that is correct could you tell me please ...

Please could anyone help me find a place of some relatives. I have on a British Census Vincenzo Melandri and his son Guiseppe but am unable to read clearly the place of birth name. I have searched online the old maps and new that I can find to try and locate this place with no luck. If anyone can ...
