GIOVANNO MANZI, b. 1854, GRAGNANO, ITALY. Brothers ANTONIO & LUIGI MANZI. GIOVANNI came to NEW YORK in 1895, went into the dairy/creamery business in Upstate NY. LUIGI & ANTONIO settled in THE BRONX, cheese and bakery business.

I want to start looking in Italy for a family connection, have no idea how to go about it, please help me if you can. I am doing this on behalf of the MANZI family .

this might help you get started:

This is the white pages for Gragnano for the Cognome Manzi

You might want to find similar given names and write some letters or you can try to find Vital Records for your ancestors to learn their parents names and then try to reconstruct your family tree.

Hi Ellen. Nice to see you here! I have been offline for a few weeks so I missed this post but I'll also have a look later and see if I can help you in anyway.

I signed up as a member of this site when you first started it, the summer before Eric died. I put everything aside for a long time, and am now getting back into the swing of things ! I have had great success with the research of the Manzi Family on this side of the pond, getting ready to cross now, HELP !!
