That IS wonderful news!!! I've been trying to find out more information about my family for a long time. I'd always had some confusion over Pieve di Controne (which I thought was just the name of the church) and San Gemignano di Controne which is where the family house is.

We were going to come in March but with the winter Italy's recently had we changed out itinerary to September.

Alot of information about my family in recent times are unknown as 2 of the 4 children migrated to America including my grandfather in 1931. I have recently been in contact with distant cousins.

Yes I live in North Carolina which when my Grandfather came to US. Lived in Boston, NY, Detroit and we have no idea how he got to the southern states especially during that era.

Thank you in advance for you all the hard work you have put into this project. I hope to hear the bell towers of Pieve when we come.
