Thank you, Paula Nigro

In the beginning, this San Fele Surname List was started by Michael T. Giallella in memory of those "pioneers" who immigrated to the Western New York Area from San Fele (PZ) Italy.  Now due to many hours of research and interaction with other researchers this San Fele Surname List  has expanded to a World Wide "Global" SanFele, Potenza Surname List and includes Surnames of San Fele Italy emigrants whose descendants are located throughout the *entire* World. 

This Sanfelesi Surname list grows whenever a person born in San Fele or their descendant submits a copy of an official Birth Record from the San Fele Comune, the Church or the Province Archives at Potenza, which proves that the Birth Place of their immigrant ancestor was San Fele (PZ) Basilicata Italia. Genealogy Researchers are also examining the Ellis Island Passenger Ship Manifests and the LDS San Fele, Potenza Microfilms of the Napoleonic Records from 1810 to 1860, which are copies of the records held at the Archivio di Stato di Potenza Province Archives. The Province Archives and the Microfilms are not the originals. The originals are held at the municipality although it is much easier to send requests to the Archivio di Stato di Potenza research facilities because their purpose is the archiving of the history of the towns in their province and they open to the public.

PLEASE NOTE: A rare San Fele Surname will be added, to this World Wide List only when it has supporting documentation (official primary source records) of birth being in San Fele.
Thank you very much for your understanding in this regard.
