Hi there, my grandmother was Amorina Ragaglia, she lived in Alexandria Egypt in the early 1900's. Her sister was Victoria Ragaglia. And she had a brother who went on to have 3 sons in Milan and one of them was a lawyer. I do not have his name but it could have been Georgio or guigio. But their father was Giovanni Ragaglia a merchant in Alexandria Egypt. Im not sure where they were all born but Ancona Italy was mentioned once. My grandmother Amorina Ragaglia was born early 1900. She married James Higgins in Alexandria as he was stationed there. She was known as Mary Higgins and died 18/12/1963 in Willesden. I would really like some help with Giovanni Ragaglia and whether it is at all possible to find out more about him and then trace his sons families. They could still be in Milan? Any help would be great.

Hi Suzanne.
I can't help you personally, but had a look and there is one Ragaglia showing on Milan White Pages - 1st name Vittorio. A long shot but worth a look maybe?

If Vittorio doesn't work out, this is quite a good portal for FH sites
