Question:

I am looking for the father of Oliver Mai. His name is Angelo De Tommaso born I think 19 Jan 1946?

in (BA) Italy. My question is - How can we find him?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hey Antara,

Hmm, do you know what country he lives in today? That would be the start point, it is a big world, and the tools for each country to search are not overlapping, except the internet. A direct search for someone famous would be easy. For now, I will say try Italy first. So, use the Italy Phone book(s) below.

In Italian:
"De Tomasi ha un ceppo in Lombardia, nella zona tra Samarate, Busto Arsizio, Gallarate e Milano ed uno in Veneto nel vicentino tra Isola Vicentina e Vicenza, De Tomaso, molto raro, sembra specifico di Turi (BA), De Tommasi sembrerebbe pugliese con ceppi a Novoli (LE), Lecce e nel Salento, e nel barese, Fe Tommaso ha un nucleo pugliese tra barese e brindisino soprattutto a Casamassima (BA) e nel brindisino a Oria, Erchie, Brindisi e Francavilla Fontana, un piccolo ceppo a Napoli, nel cosentino ed a Messina, Di Tomasi, quasi unico, 㨠probabilmente do vuto ad un'errata trascriz<ione di Di Tommasi che 㨠specifico di Rosolini (SR), Modica (RG) e del ragusano, Di Tomaso ha un ceppo a Civitanova del Sannio (IS) e Casacalenda (CB), con un grosso nucleo a Rotonda (PZ), Di Tommaso 㨠molto presente in Lazio, Abruzzo, Molise, casertano e napoletano, Puglia e potentino, con ceppi anche in Sicilia ad Augusta (SR) e Catania, derivano tutti dal nome medioevale Thomasus (vedi TOMASI)."

If he might be in the USA, then use ZABASEARCH or White Pages.

If he might be in another country use YAHOO SEARCH (it works better), find "White Pages <country>", or "PHONE Directory <country>", where country will be the country you thing he might be.

It is possible he is deceased, start with Family Search.com because it spans many countries, but then you will need to search for the Vital Record office where you believe he died.

This is not an easy task, made more difficult by not knowing where he may be living today. But you can find him, if you persist.
