Hi All,
My GG Grandfather Giovanni COSTADASI was last recorded as such in 1903 in Burntisland. The next time I can find him and his family is 1906, and they pop up in Musselburgh but their name has become LEONARDI.
Before that I have found records of a brush or two with the law, and family stories say that he was a drunk and went bankrupt. I have previously hired a Genealogist at some expense to try to find out if there is any record of anything happening that might have caused the family to change their name, but I don't think she actually left Edinburgh so I'm hoping someone out there could offer some suggestions for resources I might look at - either online or in Burntisland.
The National Library has some digitised Post Office Directories but I can't find any there for Fife. I wondered about newspapers - where would the old papers from a little place like that be these days?
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks, OchAye
