Thank you for your response. I'm not sure I'm willing to proceed with a lawsuit. I will have to think carefully about it. It is nice to know I have options.

Any comments are greatly appreciated. Here is my situation

GF came from Italy in 1906 and naturalized in 1911

GM came from Italy in 1912, married GF in 1914. I see on a census record that she is a naturalized citizen through marriage.

My father was born in 1923.
GM died July 1948
I'm born 1957 ...

My D'errico family is from Rodi Garganico. I could try to help you although I haven't had a lot of luck myself. Do you know of any other family names. I visited Rodi earlier this year. My grandfather's paternal grandmother was Antonia D'Errico and her father was Guiseppe D'Errico.

I have a Vittoria Cabone in my family also. She brought my great uncle Matteo DiLella from Rodi Garganico. Her parents were Domenico Carbone and Maria Raffaela Fanelli.

I'm pretty sure if your family is from Rodi, we're related. I have no idea if any of my DiFelice family came or not. I'm pretty sure they did. I lose the thread from Italy around 1860. That is the latest dates I can find through the Family Search website.

My grandfather came over in 1906 with about ...

In my family tree (DiLella- from Rodi G) I show Costanza DiLella (b. 1 Apr 1838) and Giambattista Filomeno DiFelice marrying in 1860.

Rodi Garganico is a small seaside village. DiFelice is a very popular name there.

Good Luck on your search!! I'm in the middle of tracing my family, too.
