  1. Ciao,
    Mi chiamo Giovanni. Mio nonno era Giovanni D’Alessandro che nacque ad Anversa degli Abruzzi nel 1884 o 1885. Venne in America nel 1900. Sua moglie era Laura Maria Ricci che nacque ad Anversa degli Abruzzi nel 1890. Si sposarono ad Anversa degli Abruzzi alcuni periodo tra il 1910 e il 1917. Potete dirmi dove posso trovare i documenti dei miei nonni? Mio fratello sarà in visita ad Anversa degli Abruzzi ad aprile e vorrebbe cercare informazioni sui nostri nonni.
