      It is so hard, especially from a different country. My mother met my dad in Austria. She was from Poland & lost so many in Poland due to WWII. So much history lost!

      I enjoyed our visit to Naples, though it was rather brief (a day stop on our way to Rome). Sadly, I didn't know part of my genealogy at that time. After visiting Ellis Island, I became interested in tracking back my genealogy to Italy. It took a lot of digging, but I found out that my great-great-grandparents emigrated from Rocca San Felice to the US, both sailing out of Naples. Her in 1899 and him in 1902. Had I known that when we were in Italy, we would have detoured to that region to see if we could find any traces of my family. Eventually, we need to make it back there to do just that.

    Katie is beautiful 😊. I love how into her family's history. Ive been thinking about looking into my own. I was adopted , however I do know the names. Turns out that my birth family owned the farm right down the road from me for 50 years or so before moving. Ive walked past that farm several times. I was even able to find a picture of im assuming my great grandfather working the land crica 1900.

    I applaud your ability to find Katie’s ancestors’ birth certificate! I know from personal experience that going through Italian birth records is no easy feat if you don’t read or speak the language. Google translate is awesome, but it can’t help transcribe the very difficult to read handwritten portions. Patience, time and Tylenol are a must. 😀

    Glad to hear this story. It's similar to my genealogy, on my father's side. My great-great-grandparents came across from Naples, Italy to the US. Her in 1899 and him in 1902. It took some digging, but I did find the names of the ships they came across on and when they entered Ellis Island. They got married in the US. Some of my ancestors spelled their last name with an "I" and some with an "E" as well, which I did find confusing. Maybe it was a case of the "I" spelling to Americanize it (mine is spelled with an "I"). I was able to trace my genealogy back to the region of Italy that my great-great-grandparents came from, but haven't been able to trace any further than that.

      Great story.Many years ago, in the late 1950s my dad was in the Air Force and did a TDY to England and Germany.When he was in Germany he visited his cousin in Garmisch.This relative tried to help my dad out and told him that if he really wanted to know the family history, to go to Nuremberg to visit family who keep the family history book.. Unfortunately my dad didn't have time and never made it.Found out that in the State Archives in Hamburg is a copy of our family history book they also hold others .Want to go there some day.

      @@hildahilpert5018 I made a trip to Italy, but that was before I had done the research on my family history. Kicking myself that I was only about a 45 minute drive away from the region that my great-greats came from. If only I had known at that time. So, I need to go back at some point on a family history hunt.

    That is so amazing you found this woman's family! I too am the keeper of my family ancestry.. It all started with my Great Grandmother and her sister who were adopted. It was said they had a brother as well but I can not find any information at all on any of them. Apparently the records of her and her sister's adoption had been burned in a fire in the 1920's. I have tried doing DNA research(using my mother's DNA- her granddaughter) but it is so hard to identify who is related to her. I may have narrowed it down to one person on the DNA list and I contacted them but unfortunately they have never responded back and I fear they may have passed. I would love any tips or advice on how to search! I've been doing this for over 20 years now and no luck. TIA
