custody of Genoveffa Rondinella

Hi,
by midwife statement, the mother of Francesco was Genoveffa Rondinella, because she declares that the pregnancy was regular -full nine months ; and that Genoveffa would provide nursing of child. Francesco went in Australia having Francesco Rondinella name, because Genoveffa recognized legally the child, surely, given own surname, also if no note on the Francesco birth act.. and that is a error of clerk...
but Genoveffa recognized, because Francesco had the italian passport with name Francesco Rondinella

Hi Donna,

My grandpa Antonino (nino) Nicosia is the brother of your grandfather.
Nino remembers when he left for Australia Nino brought his luggages to the boat, he was 9 years old.
Antonino Nicosia is still well and alive, (he's 94 and in good health) he said he remebers him clearly!
He and his younger sister Silvana Nicosia are the only ones left of the brothers...
Francesco's mum died the 18 Aprile of 1983, just a few days after his death.
My mum, Claudia Nicosia, daughter of Nino, said they have been called by the wife (or ex wife?) but they couldn't tell to Genoveffa as she was very sick at the hospital...
If we can help in any way let me know (i'm Claudia's daughter)
