Hi Alexander:I saw your message of 2001.I am a LaPorta livingin Canada but our name was eventually spelled with an E as we were living in a French Canadian community.My grand father, Leonardo LaPorta was born in San Marco in Lamis, Provincia di Foggia in the Puglia region in Italy.Distant relatives there have told me that the LaPorta's originally came from France in the 1600's.On what do you base your assumption re the exodus from France.Do you have names of towns from where they came from in France?How could I obtain more info on this subject?Thanks, Jacqueline
