Yes I have sort of, my father had a falling out with his brothers and sisters well over 50 years ago so I never had any contact with any of them, you can't imagine how stubborn Italians are

My wife kept bugging me for information about them, I had nothing to tell her.
So after all the pestering of me I put up a post on Ancestry.com and in two days I got a reply from a cousin I have never met.

We exchanged phone numbers and set up a meeting. My cousin is a retired police chief and defective and just happened to be working on the family tree.

At the meeting he presented me with three big louse leaf binders with the family tree dating back to the early 1700 in Italy. My cousins made several trips to to the old country researching the family tree, the information and documents he collected was incredible.

Spent many hours doing this type of work, with fair success. One place to go is your local LDS library(Mormons) and, if you are really interested, the DAR(Daughter's of the American Revolution) library in Washington, DC. Google the names you are interested in and see if there are any societies active.

Good luck!
