Hi Lucila! Thanks for reading. I have seen several of her books in Italian -- I believe this one is called La Sposa Italiana in its Italian version! Try searching on ibs.it
Hello Emiko, I had given up on researching my great grandparents in San Giovanni in Fiore in Calabria because I didn’t have their birthdates and reached so many dead ends. You have inspired me to continue my research. I live in Florida, so can’t fly to Calabria to see the cemetery. Did you say there is a website where I can access the records of the cemetery? I always love your posts. I think I will join your paid subscribers. I don’t want to miss anything!!
Ciao Emiko, What a fascinating read. You're putting in a lot of work to realise your roots and you write well. I was so excited to come across your site and thrilled to discover that my husband and I had happened upon your pretty town of San Miniato your summer before last.
I have spent many a day in the old cemeteries and archives in Basilicata in search of answers to so many questions about my Italian family. That cemetery QR code is so cool, wish other towns had that. And Cisternino is a favorite flea market - can't get enough of Puglia ever! Something about your grandmother's geneological research in the 80s reminded me of Kate Morton's book, is it The Forgotten Garden?
Im giving a talk about Taranto in June aboard Azamara, and found this map of the city (Mortier amsterdam 1750) then called Tarento and with a deer head in the stemma. would you like a photo?
Hi Emiko, Lucila from Argentina here! I was wondering if you know if the Trigiani book is in Italian, I could not find it online. Loved this post!
