Hello Robert,
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. It has been a hectic year and I just found your reply.
It is very possible that you are related to my husband Frank.
His grandfather, Battista Mele/Melo came to Utah and lived in Sunnyside Ut. He and his family later moved to Spring Glenn Ut. Battista had a cousin, Salvatore Mele Sr., who also came from San Giovanni en Fiore. He lived down the road from Battista and his family. Salvatore married Rosina Oliveto July 16, 1921 in Price.
I would be so happy to hear from you and I can explain the name change (Mele/Melo), as well as share any info I might have that would be useful to you. Email me and I will be glad to write back.
Cindy Melo
