no i don't know Italian.wish i did. my family has searched for 35 years for this family.i started in the search about 12 years ago and was able to uncover the Bonetti side but still at a stand still on the Baroni.the ship and military records indicate "Switzerland"thats it.both of the daughters married men from the Ticino area that were much older possibly an arranged marriage.so we have searched that area extensively....nothing. there was one returned trip where one of the children indicated Northern Italy as a birth place but that is the only place that Italy is mentioned.in everything that they signed or had to indicate where they were born all is it says is Switzerland.I have had people there helping me and we have come a long way on the bonetti line.it has been exciting but My grandmother Baroni is still on my mind. I have searched census records, cities in theUS where the children had lived,i've looked through films, documents, manifesto, .....they are no where to be found.so the other day i just got the idea that maybe if i could determine the origin of the border guard uniform and time date it might present a clue.yes i am frustrated...i don't mean to frustrate you too.but we really have searched high and low.i have a couple of pictures that are supposedly this couple and a post card mailed from "Ranco or Ranzo Switzerland."I have checked there also.severalyears ago my aunt even hired a professional genealogist in europe to help for a few days and they came up empty too.i appreciate your help.at this point i will take any help i can get because i am out of ideas.thanks for your time
