I had looked and looked and someone else in my family found the the lost, lost cousins we knew we had in Canada. I think someone found some numbers by looking them up and just started calling Facchini's in Canada. With I believe 1 call they had some information on who the right Facchini's were.
My parents and some cousins are going to Montreal in a few weeks to meet them in person. Some speak French, but it is very exciting. My Great Grandfather Angelo and his brother Clemente moved to Canada I think in the 1880's or 90's. My Great Granfather went back to Italy and his brother Clemte stayed in Canada. They never kept touch. Angelo was going back to Canada, but his daughter was very ill and he was scared that she may die on the trip to Canada or they would throw her off the boat if she got very ill so nobody else would get sick. Anyhow, we now have found them, it's very exciting.
My Great Grandfather was from Northern Italy, Modena. The smal mountian town is St. Anna spelled wrong here.
Many Italians moved to this small town just north from Chicago, that's where we are. All this time and our long lost relatives were just above us in Montreal.
Write back whoever has questions?? Ciao
