I want them to know that I care and that I am curious and here, in the world. Even though it is a distance away, I am only a phone call, letter or photograph away. I can be part of their lives.
Why bother finding my cousins clear in Italy? To know who my family are in the world. To see other cousins face to face with my same colored eyes, same color hair, same eye brows, same height, someone who shares my same Great Grand Parents..........
These family members may speak another language, they may comb their hair another way, but they are my family. Finding family in Italy has to be a force that is with in a person. It does require a person to know their language or use a translation program. Because once you start a relationship with these lost cousins, it takes a lot of dedication to know them and keep the family candle burning.
They will want to know all about you and your family. They are just as curious about us , as we are of them. So, if you have started searching for your lost family and make contact, write often, send photographs, telephone them once in a while. It all has worked out for me. I am very proud of my accomplishments in searching my cousins out.
There will be a lot of obstacles in your way, but keep going.
They are often wondering when another lost relative will
discover them and find their path back to them. It will be an
amazing journey for anyone searching. I am so happy I made the
effort to know my relatives and discover information about my
ancestors that once lived.

One meaning people have given me is that the Credico's owned lot's of land. And people from our village used to come to our relatives and put their land up for colladeral. Then,we would lend them money to put their gardens in,as well as many projects they were working on to survive back in the 1700's, 1800's and early 1900's.
So the surname has been told to me means "House of Credit." If anyone has any other meaning of this name please e-mail me or sign my guestbook.
No matter where a family lives in our world today, I have managed to trace ALL of them back to Abruzzee, Italy. All small cities located around or not far from Chieti, Italy.
The cities so far my research has traced to are: Forca Bobolina, Torrevecchia Teatina, Lanciano, Palata, Vasto, Pescara,Castel- Ferrato, Francavilla, Ortano, Montesilvano, San Giovanni Teatino, Chieti and more. I do have relatives in Siciley and another branch I have traced to Siciley existance.
The determination I have to know my family history and to discover my unknown ancestors wouldn't of been possible without the help of Gilio and Sara, researchers I hired personally. I thank you!
Both of my trips a enjoyed and observed the innocence of the people that exist around us, so quiet only knowing the english language, the country sides spoke for themselves. Curious about a place that I have found little resources on through library,internet,maps and mouth, I will start to speak of this place through new pages.
I visited the cemetaries which hold my ancestors, I stepped in the places where they were born, married and died. I have been published in a book that I now hold in my hand, a curious American-Italian, brave enough to search out the unknown.
I was invited to unknown peoples homes, showered with foods, gifts, and was granted access to all the old records and books which go back to the 1400's (in latin-of course), by the father of the church of Castel Ferrato. My families information just waiting there in books for me to discover. Each document, photograph and person, a story behind. What rewards I have found.....cousins,friends,photographs, marriage documents and more.
With the send of a letter my life has changed....I now share what I have seen and lived. For all of you that have never been to Italy but are searching, I will share my experiences with you, in hopes that one day, you will accomplish your dreams. Our Italian families are wondering and waiting to see when another Italian-American or American-Italian will discover them and their country.
