I am seeking information on Michel and Maria Genta, who adopted my great grandmother Francesca Specchio, who was born in Ivrea in 1859 but was taken very early by the Genta’s from Cuorgne. I believe the law in Italy at that time was that parents could not adopt until the child was 12 or 14 years old. Any help would be appreciated
Hola! mi bisabuela Emma Miglio nació en Cuorgne, en 1892. Sus padres se llamaban Eugenio Miglio y Emiilia Rocco,estoy tratando de encontrar datos de otros hijos y de los padres fechas de nacimiento y si ellos eran de Cuorgne o algún otro dato familiar. Desde ya les agradezco su amabilidad.
Trying to continue my family tree. My maternal great grandfather, Domenico MaCocco, was from Cuorgne and immigrated to the United States around 1912. I am looking for names of his parents and siblings. I’d love to meet any relatives who are still in the area.
Domeinico Macocco is believed to have been in the Italian army.
He married Caroina Braida, from San Colombano Belmonte while living in the United States.
I will be traveling through Italy in October 2016 and would like to visit the area at that time.
