I am also very new to this and would love help finding my birth records. I believe I was born in Roccella in 1966 -1969. My family was very Mafia at the time and I was sent to the states to live. The mother who raised me is somehow related to me? My birth records have been sealed in the sate of Florida because I was adopted. When I ask my nona or my mother they get very upset. Anyone that can help please let me know

Hi Hawaii
(that sounds nice doesn't it...)

Welcome to "Gente"

There are some really nice and very good researchers here among our group. They will help and guide you on what to look for and where - helping yoy as well.

You will need to tell them a bit more about yourself,and what you know of your connection with Italy. Without that there will be little that they could do do help.

I look forward to seeing your story unfold as time goes on...

Good luck!
