We are so excited to have you all here with us! What is your interest in Italian research? Would you comment below with any family names or locations that you are researching? Who knows someone else might be searching the same thing!

@PaulaRail1 The way we can help you best is if you provide more than just a name and a town. It's not nearly enough to get any sort of lead. Estimated dates of birth/marriage/death, names of spouses/children/parents if known, etc. are needed because in most cases, the records can't be searched by entering a name on a website - the records have to be searched visually, year by year. Once you have that information, make a new post. More specific information will yield more specific answers.
You are fortunate in that Barisiciano is one of the towns in L'Aquila where there are no gaps in the available records online. You basically have a run from 1809 through the 1940s between Antenati and FamilySearch.

Thank you for the message. First off, both of my parents were born in Italy. My father in Abruzzo in 1927 and my mother in Lucca in 1928. My father moved here in 1931 and was stationed in Italy in 1946 while in the Army. It is there that he met my mother and they married in 1947. My goal here is to search my mother's history. She was sent to an orphanage shortly after she was born then returned to her mother when she became of age in 1933. In 1939, she was taken from her family and sent to another orphanage until she was 18, in 1946. While in the second orphanage she was sent to Germany during 1944 and is include in the Arolsen Archives for being sent to Munchen. I have no idea of why they did this and I am trying to find out.
In the end, I would like to obtain dual citizenship but not sure I am eligible as she became a citizen of ghetto US in 1951, a year before I was born.
If anyone can help me on any of this I would appreciate it.

Hi, I'm Leandro from Argentina. Thank you for including in this group. My great grandparents came from Pettineo and Motta D'Affermo in Sicily, i found a lot of information in this site, i'd love to connect with distant family members and investigate together our shared ancestry.
