Trying to find photos and other documents!! TRIANO

[scurran]

Hello,

First post here.

I recently found out quite a bit about my family and have started building a tree, however I am not able to find any pictures or documents beyond what ancestry.com has.

Where do I look? what would be the best resource for this?

I had a lot of family come from Bari Italy to NY, USA

I have their Ellis island passenger records and some more documents on my tree with ancestry.

Please help if you can Let me know what other details you would need or point me in the right place. Thank you!!

Are you located in Italy or the US?

Where in NY state did your ancestors reside?
Or did they only pass through NY at Ellis Island?
Do you find them in the census?

If you know where and when they were born, married or died in the US, you can request the corresponding document from the municipality where the event occurred. Privacy laws dictate how long until the records are available to people besides immediate family.

Also, if you know when and where someone died, you can make a research request of the local public library. They'll look on newspaper microfilm for obituaries, usually for a small fee.
