Thank you for your reply. I have gone to a dead end with my information. I am thinking it is because I have possibly the wrong exact information. When my family came over from Italy they resided in the Pittsburgh, PA area (coming through the Philly port). They came in between the same time frame you explained. I have not gotten all the info I need, but the places I know mine were for sure resided from PA to OH to KY. Possibly your's are a relation to mine and they had different aspirations and went different ways. I think there is a lot of irony if it is not true, b/c of the exact name change. Thank you for ur reply and please keep in touch so we can connect them. :) Amy markela79@aol.com
