| Modena | Looking for Fraulini Posted: Sat December 25, 2004 08:59 PM UTC
I was out at ellisisland.org and saw that my great grandfather Vincentio Fraulini was from Modane Italy and went to the US in 1908. I have searched for that town and now believe that they spelled it wrong on the ship manifest. Given the accent, I believe that it was actually Modena. I would love to make a trip to Italy and meet some of my distant family... doesn anyone know of any good resources to track this type of information down?

There is in fact a Modane, which is now in France, but close enought to the border that it may have been in the (Italian) Savoy when your great grandfather was born. I'm not so familiar with the history of that region to be certain but it's certainly worth looking into.
