I had a really tough time finding Achille. I knew that this had to be my great grandfather’s name, as my dad’s oldest brother was Achille and his parents followed the Italian naming convention to the letter. I was searching the Antenati, without luck, and part of my contract with Bella Italian Genealogy was to help find this link. They came through early last year and found the records below. Other than knowing from the records that he was an attorney and where he lived, There is not to much to say. Suffice it to say, I had no clue as to the name of my great grandmother.
