Hi Linda,

Thanks for the info, although I had already tried that route. I, too, live in Montreal and from what I have discovered not more than 8 minutes from where my greatgrandparents used to live. I found the name of a church in little italy where my grandfather was baptized and I am hoping they can give me some kind of info on my greatgrandparents history. The church is connected to Larino and was built by those who came from there around the same time my greatgrandparents came to montreal - so who knows maybe that will help. Apparently the church has quite the history, see http://www.sunmedia.ca/TravelCanada/montreal_italian.html. I will try looking into the name Sacco since it has become apparent to me than due to immigration, etc it is entirely possibly the name was misspelled or even changed from it's origins.
Do you have any other advice as to how to collect information?
