Hello. My grandfather was Samuel Fardella (Fardella-21) and his sister was Girolaura Fardella (Fardella-43); their spouse was Salvatore Caruso (Caruso-1092); he lived in Brampton, Ontario and had a fruit store from approximately 1960-1980; I am unable to find either his parents or siblings; can you possibly help me ?

Also, Samuel and Girolaura's great grandfather was Antonino Fardella (Fardella-31); I can't find his spouse, siblings or parents; could you possibly help me  ?

Thanks.

Hi Barry

You need to find the location where they came from in Italy. Caruso is quite a common surname.

Do you have their death record and the church marriage record? Did you try to find newspaper artciles? Try FamilySearch (free) and Ancestry (if you don't have a subscription, ask in G2G or Discord).

Dear Germany Project member,

it's annual check-in time 2023. If you still wish to remain a member of the Germany Project, please reply to this post, by stating this intention. If we don’t hear from you in the next 30 days, your membership badge will be removed. In this case please don't be offended ... you're welcome to rejoin at any time. Please also note, that in order to receive help, with researching your German ancestors, membership is not mandatory. Just ask your questions in the G2G forum and tag them with Germany in order for knowledgeable people to see them.

If you wish to remain a member, we would like to learn more about your perception of the Germany Project in order to achieve a future development according to our members needs and wishes. For this, we created a survey, which we kindly ask you to fill-in.

In case you want to communicate, discuss and receive help about WikiTree in German, you might want to check out the WikiTree category at Compgen’s Discourse as well as the German Discord server Ahnenforschung.

Of course there’s still the official WikiTree Discord server, where we usually talk English. Feel free to learn more about Discord and the server at Help:Discord.

Kind regards from Black Forest

Hi Flo,

I'm still interested and recently proof-read some of the German help pages.

It's time for the One Place Studies Project Check-In!

We've put together a survey for you to fill out to check in with you, it will only take a moment as there are only a few questions. Filling out the survey lets us know you are still interested in coordinating your study and provides an opportunity for you to share any suggestions you may have for the project.

If you have decided to step away from your study, please reply to this comment to that effect.

Hi, I'm still learning what the recommendations for categories in the Italian project. Recently you changed two person's biographies and I'd like to learn about the differences are there so that I will better follow the categorization goals of the project.

Thank you, Anna

Initially the category sequence in the biography was this: Category: Campania, Italy Category:Città metropolitana di Napoli Category: Province of Naples Italian Roots Sticker Biography

The categorization is now: Category:Città metropolitana di Napoli Biography Italian Roots Sticker

Hi Anna

Thank you for your message. What you posted with "… has Italian roots" is a sticker. The sticker(s) should be listed after the "Biography", while categories should be listed before the "Biography". Just to keep it more clearly arranged, I suppose.

As for the categories in the Italy project: we try to add location categories to all Italian profiles for every location a person has lived (was born, married, died or had children or just lived). As many locations don't have their location category yet, I'm going through all of them and we will add a new created category to at least one profile. This means we will be adding location categories to some random profiles that have the location mentioned. The lowest level categories should be "comune, provincia" and we decided to do those in Italian. So I changed some categories from English to Italian.

Does this answer your question? If not, could you please post the profiles that I changed, so I can have a closer look?

posted by I. Caruso
Thank you for the information. The two profiles in question are Caterina (Guaralia) Fossa (Guaralia-1) and her husband Giuseppe Fossa (Fossa-12).

Best, Anna

posted by Anna Zara
Thank you for sending the profiles.

So here is what I did:

- deleting the "Category: Campania, Italy", as we add the lowest possible category if possible. So we would add town/comune if known, and if not known we can add the provincia or region category. So this category is not used if the lower category is used as below.

- I changed the "Category: Province of Naples" to today's name "Category:Città metropolitana di Napoli". I used the Italian name, but all provinces, all Metropolitan Cities and all regions are available in English as well, so it doesn't matter which one you add. Just the comunes are all in Italian, as it would be too much work to do them in two languages as well.

- As I was already on the profiles, I moved the "Italian Roots" sticker under the "Biography" title, where it should be according to the WikiTree style guides. Nothing serious and we can't really see it, but I change it if I'm working on a profile for another reason. Some profiles have many categories and stickers and a long biography, so following this order make the profiles easier to work on.

Edit for formatting.

Hi, you recently sent a number of categories to be renamed, however you hadn't created the new categories for the profiles to be moved to. I have done those so the renaming can proceed, however the creation of the new category, if it does not already exist, is the responsibility of the member instigating the rename. See this category, Category: Sorrento, Naples, the link for the new category should be green (category exists), not red (doesn't exist).

Thanks for your help, Regards, Margaret, Categorization project volunteer.

Hi Margaret

Thank you for your message and for creating the categories. I didn't know that the new category to which the old one should be renamed, has to be created by the asking member. I just followed the steps at the help page. Of course I will create them myself for the remaining categories.

What is the best way to proceed then? Do you know what is technically the difference between renaming and merging?

Thank you and best wishes I.

posted by I. Caruso
Hi I, thanks for your reply. Renaming is the preferred option, merging requires more manual input from the categorization team and is hardly ever used. I believe it was the only option before renaming was developed. Both require the new target category to be created. I developed this help page for our Australia Project members, you might find it useful. If you follow all the steps as written, you'll get the right result. Regards, Margaret.
Hi,

The Germany Project Leaders are doing their semi-annual check-in with all project members and we want to verify that you’re still interested in being a member of the Project. Please respond by private message and let me know.

Are you currently working with one of our Sub-projects or Teams? If not, take a look at our main Project page for a full list.

We really appreciate your contributions on WikiTree, and thank you for all your hard work. If you have any questions, please ask. We would also love to hear any feedback you may have for the project.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi Chris! Thank you for the update. As I'm in the team that translates the German help pages, I don't have time for another project right now. But please feel free to ask again. Later I might be interested in joining a team and working on profiles in the Molise region of Italy.

Ciao! This is just a general check-in for members of the Italy project. I am checking to see who is still interested in being a member of the project as we go through some much needed restructuring. I was also wondering what teams you would like to be on. We’ve created teams for each part of Italy. North, South, Islands etc. They will be explained further in an upcoming g2g post. Stay tuned. For now, please let me know if you are still interested in the project and if you’d like to be a member of a team.

Thank you for volunteering. You are now a full member of WikiTree.

Start with the New Member How-To Pages - they are really useful as you add profiles and learn your way around: 

Let me know if you require assistance. I am happy to help. After adding my own family and ancestors I have found many cousins and distant ancestors here on WikiTree.
