  • Searching for my aunt's father

    From Lora Schachtili@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 18 12:39:11 2016
    My aunt's father was born in Genoa, Genova, Italy in 1893. He was an orphan and may have been born in the orphanage where he lived in Genoa. He was adopted but kept his birth name, Louis Cobia. He immigrated to the USA in 1908 and it was believed he did
    so on his own.
    I am helping my aunt find any information regarding the situation of his birth and information about his birth parents.
    I have tried Ancestry and the LDS sites with no success. Any suggestions? Thanks,
    Lora

    Did you try the Antenati site - Italian Archives. They have birth records
    for Genoa for 1893 - but I did not see an index. There are a lot of records
    if you have to browse.
