"A site dedicated to our brave immigrant ancestors and their descendants from the small hilltop village of Celenza Valfortore, Province of Foggia, Region of Puglia, and most especially to our Nonnie."
I came across this wonderful website while doing research for a client who hails from Waterbury, Connecticut. Waterbury is one of the American cities that was a landing point for many immigrants from Celenza Valfortore. The creator of this online tribute is unknown to me but it is a great example of the type of website I am featuring through this spotlight series.
Celenza Valfortore is located in the province of Foggia, and region of Puglia (Apulia), Italy. The above photo is courtesy of "Our Celenza Heritage". Their site has a tremendous amount of information and I am sure you will be impressed when you visit it online.
Ciao... Michael

Wow,
This is a great find indeed!
Thanks for the introduction to the period. I confess to having a hard time keeping all the Italian royalty apart in my head, so your references will be a big help researching my Huguenot ancestors.
