again me: when Giacomo Podestà ( aka Jacob, and died as Joe Podesta on 4 Jul 1973 San Mateo, CA, USA) immigrated in USA, the final destination was the brother in law Luigi Queirolo in Tuolumne, CA, USA;
the maiden name of Luigi Queirolo mother was: Dellacasa;
here the death record of Luigi:

we know that Vittoria Rosa Podestà nee Queirolo, sister of Luigi was born in Mezzanego; by death record:

Lacking birthacts for probable places as Borzonasca, Zoagli, Varese Ligure

I also have 1911 census that says he was 27 this year so this follows.

if your edward was naturalized british subject, maybe by naturalization documents you can find some important info

Checked everything out and it looks like he was not naturalized. Typical!

His sons birth certificate has the name of rudger as his surname so I requested a marriage cert for his second marriage to see if he had put his real dads name down but it just has John Rogers, which is the next name he changed his to - Brick wall again.

I spoke to a relative today and they said they remember Edward mentioning he was born in either Genoa or Milan around 1882. He aso said he fought in the war for Britain. Diane x
