Lois, thank you for your help. If I ever find my grandfather, I may find the link to your family also. I know my father, as in your family,was named according to Ardo tradition. Years ago, the first born son was always Joseph, the second born son was Louis and the third born was Frank. My Father is the eldest of two boys, he is named Joe and his brother is Louis, as in your grandfahters family. Perhaps our greatgrandfathers were cousins?? Well, kkep in touch. Please feel free to mail me at joanfred@one.net. do you have an e-mail?
