Michele, Maria, Angelina LoGuercio

[LauraTowey]

I am new to this, and am beginning a search for my family history. My grandmother, Angelina LoGuercio left Sanza with her parents Michele and Maria. How can I find information on where they lived and any records that may exist? Thanks for any help!

Yes! Or any information about them.

We'll be happy to help.

You'll need complete names, maiden names and birth years.
If you don't have this information, we can help you look thru your US records for some clues.

I believe Angelina LoGuercio was born in 1906. Her mother, Maria Camporese may have been born in 1880?

Laura,
Are you using your manifest for the birth years?
That should work, they're usually pretty close!

Do you need assistance in finding some of your US records to confirm birth years or any other information?

Census records after 1900 & military records are generally found on subscription sites.
You can usually access them at your local library if they have ancestry. com or HeritageQuest subscriptions.

Thanks! Valarie
