These are the major surnames in my database...hope this helps. Are you
a member of P.O.I.N.T.? It stands for "Pursuing Our Italian Names
Together". I have been a member for 4 years and it has been very
helpful to me. They also have local chapters and meetings which are
called "Pointers in Person"(PIP).
There is a PIP meeting in Milwaukee at 11:00AM at the Italian Community
Center. I am taking my dad with me this time. Annually the POINT group
publishes a directory with the names of people who are researching,
their addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses (what ever
way the wish to be contacted). This directory is set up to cross research
by surname, and town of origin. Quarterly, they publish a small magazine
which I find veryinteresting..lots of culture and heritage.
Again, hope I have been helpful. Looking forward to hearing from you,
Susan
