: My Granfather, Dominic Corsi, and his parents imigrated to the USA in approximately 1920 (they came over when he was 8-10 years old and he was born in 11/11/1911). They lived in Upper Michigan--my Grandfather lived in Watersmeet Michigan. His parents were Massnino Corsi and Catherine Corsi (maiden name Denocenti). I'm not sure about the exact spelling of my great Grandmothers name, but I think it is close. I didn't see Denocenti on the Capestrano geneology web page.

: I found out just last week that I will have an opportunity to visit Italy for 12 days and I am really interested to visit Capestrano and see where some of my family came from. It would be even better if I was able to meet some relatives. Given that I don't speak Italian, it may be tough to have much of a conversation, but it should be a fun adventure either way.

Dear Steve,
the spelling should be D'Innocenzo, and both the Corsi (five families) and d'Innocenzo (3 families) families are still living in Capestrano. We suggest advising them of your coming by letter, supplying all the details in your possession, and where you will be staying etc. When you are there, a little research in the municipality might help you to gain further information.

Good luck!
