Hi,
My name is Robert Gualtieri.
I am afraid I cannot give many answers to the Elia family, but I am seeking information myself. My father is from Bruzzano, Reggio Calabria.He was brought up by his auntie, after his mother and father passed away. I have been lead to believe that he had taken the Gualtieri name (step father) after his mother remarried after his father passed away, he I was an Elia. I donot know his name. My father is Michelle Gualtieri and is 70 years old. We live in Melbourne Australia.
It would be appreciated if anyone cane shed some light on my history. Thankyou so much!
