Acknowledgements

I have detailed below the various people and organisations that have helped me over the years.

I take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance in my search for my ancestors in Italy and also contacting my Capaldi family relatives in USA

Ann Tatangelo researcher who found my grandfather Achille’s birth record in Picinisco. Also for finding marriage records and more birth records in Villa Latina.

Michel Vacca who gave me invaluable details of my Capaldi family ancestors and runs the very helpful Picinisco.net web site.
I keep on missing him when I visit Picinisco and I look forward to meeeting with him on one of my future visits.

Marisa Vis from Perth, Scotland who has an extensive array of information on Picinisco Italians who emigrated to Scotland. Marisa sent me information that was completely uknown to my family and coroborated a family myth.

Anthony Valente runs a small jewellers shop in Villa Latina and has always been helpful on my visits to Villa Latina.
He also runs the successful web site val comino.org

Marco Pacitti who runs Boaters Cafe and whose father got me thinking about recording all my search details and thus I started this web site.
