Marsicovetere in Potenza

[carolboro]

My Sammartino family emigrated from this town in 1893.
If anyone has any info, I would love to hear. Carol

Hello and welcome!

Are you looking to hear from potential relatives, or are you looking for help in researching your ancestors in US and in Italy?

I am hoping to find information about the town in Potenza, and would love
to know if there are any ancestors still living there. I am interested in any
and all information on both the town and the family names.

Thanks for inquiring. Carol
