Joe,

Alberto's wife Jennie (Arnone) Arena was my grandma's god mother. Jennie's mother Rosina (LoDolce) Arnone was my great-great grandmother Maria (LoDolce) Brancato's sister. So, your grandmother Jennie and my great-grandmother were first cousins. My great grandmother's name was Santina Brancato (Brancato was her maiden name). My grandma's name is Rosalie. My grandma and your Uncle John are very close. Please e-mail me. My e-mail address is jhvalet@aol.com. My mom and I have information we can give you on the LoDolce side. I hope to talk to you soon!! I was just writing an e-mail today to my contact at the NARA about naturalization records for Joe, Rosina, and Albert. I was going to send them to John as a surprise!
