Why Italy
IMPORTANT italy QUESTION please help!!!!!!?
My great-grandfather came over from Italy in 1908. His name was FRANK LAVIGNA. In the town that he came from (Cercepiccola, Campobasso, Molise, Italy) , his name is still registered/recorded as a presently recorded surname. That means that his brothers/sisters who DID NOT come to America may have had children in Italy, which means that we have 3rd or 4th cousins living in Italy! I dont know how to find this out and who IS related to me in this town. Is there any ITALY WHITE PAGES where i can write a letter to a person bearing my last name?

- Here's a good place to start - http://www.infospace.com/intldb/intldb/pplfindint.htm?QO=IT I found some of my relatives living in Calabria using this. We met in Rome a few years ago for a visit - Good luck to you!!
- I would try posing a query at the following genealogy boards to see if you might be able to make a connection http://genforum.genealogy.com/lavigna/ http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.lavigna/mb.ashx Here are some already existing trees. Maybe you can find a connection amongst these. The E-mail addresses of the contributors are included with each tree. You can narrow it down by typing in the search terms at the bottowm of the page. http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?surname=Lavigna&given= You might also want to type Lavigna in the search terms of the following webpage as well. http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp I hope these help. Blessings.
- Hi...Try the Italian white pages.....www.paginebianche.it cognome: surname città : city regione: region provincia: province Cercepiccola would be a city/town in the province of Campobasso which is in the region of Molise. Good luck!
