I am researching my fathers family from Bari, Italy.

My grandparents are Saveria Fanelli and Saverio D'Elia. They had three sons named Michael (now living in Ohio), Joseph (deceased) and Angelo (my father).

My grandfather had two brothers (named Francesco and the other was called Taming (we can't remember his real name), and one sister (whose name we cannot remember - Angelina maybe). The only thing we know is that the sister was married to a man whose last name was Scallione and they lived in Maplewood NJ. Francesco lived in Grumoppola during the Korean War and then moved (we think) to Termo. Francesco had two daughters who he always referred to as "Prima" and "Seconda" (my father cannot remember their real names). "Taming" we believe lived in Pisticci.
