Louann: I had a great time in Perano. I met a didtant cousin who showed us around and made our stay a great one. He didn't speak English and I spoke very little Italian, but with the help of a computer translator, hand signs and writing things down we managed. Unfortunately the town that my 3rd, 2nd and great-grandfather was born in seems NOT to be the town my grandfather was bor. after pouring through local church and civil records I found no record of my grandfather being boorn in perano. His older brother Giuseppe was born there in 1871, but after that there is no record of any other siblings born to my great grandparents. I wish you luck in your research and I am sorry I couldn't finf information for you when I was there....you will love the town and surrounding area.
