Heritage Book

Ciao Castropignanesi's,

My name is Roger Battista, known also as Gino Battista.  I was born in Castropignano 82 years ago. I immigrated to Canada in 1960 at the age of 19. I have had my share of good and bad experiences since I arrived in Canada, probably similar to the experiences of your parents or grandparents that came at the same time.  Let's leave some of these memories, good and bad, to future generations.

 

For this reason I am proposing to publish, at no cost to anyone,  a Heritage Book to narrate  all the memories that we experienced since we arrived in Canada. The idea would be that each participating family would have four pages (or more if required) in the book. Two pages for the guys that came to Canada as immigrants and two pages for their children and grandchildren, so that they can share their experiences as well. Each family will write their own histories and provide the pictures that they like to be included in the book. The same space will be offered to all the participants and the families will be placed in alphabetic order. 

 

This project can be done only with your cooperation. Let's leave some of our memories , good or bad, to future generations.

 

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I count on your help. 

 

Warmest regards,

Roger (Gino) Battista
