Hi Demian,

I'm your biological father. I haven't stopped thinking about you and your older brother Jason. After so many years, I'm very glad to know that you are interested in contacting me.

I apologize for not attempting to contact you and Jason. I thought it would be better to stop being a disruption to both of your lives, so that you both can live as normal a life as possible. I have always hoped that the day would come when both of you would reach out to me. I've remarried twice after your mom divorced me, and am now happily married to a wonderful woman. She has 2 adult daughters, but, we have not had and do not plan to have any children in our marriage. Although, we do have the most wonderful grandson in the world who is now 4 years/4 months old. Kathy and I have been happily married since 1995.

P.S. I found out about your inquiry today from your aunt Patty, my sister. I see it has been 5 years since you submitted your inquiry. Hoping to hear from you soon.

Here is my contact information:
John Meno
P.O. Box 55792
Hayward, Ca 94545
Cell: 510-760-2497

Hi again, Carolann!
Yes, these messages ARE old, aren't they??? Praise G_d and Ancestry.com for keeping them running, eh?
I do not seem to get back here as often as I should but was alerted by ancestry.com to your reply. I also re-read a message from a Dave whose Meno's were both born in Slovatkia? (not sure of spelling and can't get back to that page while I'm writing this -- sorry Dave) but our Meno's were French Canadian as I think yours may have been also. Please feel free to contact me at MenokiddSC@aol.com. I'm not really able to do much with genealogy at this moment but hoping things settle down soon.

Sorry, almost forgot, my email address is sshap1965s@aol.com or MenokiddSC@aol.com. After re-reading some of these old messages I see that my "old" address is missing an "S".

HI!
I guess that I've lost track of this message board but I just today received a message from a carolannv1 whose grandfather was Charles Meno from Pennsylvania. If she hasn't already contacted you sounds like you two may have something in common???!! (ha-ha)

I'M SURE THERE IS A CONNECTION!!!!! only not really sure what it might be. I've sadly lost track of a very nice man in Pennsylvania (I think the name was 'Marsh' whose wife had Meno connections) I did have a great uncle Charles but he was always from Michigan...ironically, my sister's name is Carol Ann. Will be most happy to share ANYTHING I have and will gladly put you in touch with OUR OTHER MENO COUSINS as well! Happy to hear from you.

My Dad was named Juan Baza Meno

daffeldt78 — 2004-11-27 04:05:36Z

Hi, my biological father was named Juan Baza Meno. I was adopted at 3 years old by Robert James Affeldt. My mother is Constance Ann Wellen. From what my mother told me of my father (never met him, my mom divorced when I was five months old) his ancestry is from Guam (an island close to the Philippines). I did some searching and found many Meno's in Guam, but I guess this doesn't definitely mean they come from Guam because there is a U.S. military base there with lots of travelers. I still haven't found my father after many attempts. If you have any information it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: HI Erica - Meno Name

jhutton20 — 2004-06-19 02:56:31Z

Thomas Meno (born 22 Aug 1886 in San Cosmo Albanese, Cosenza, Italy, emigrated Naples to New York 10 Jun 1889 on steam ship Floria under name Damiano Miniscri, filed papers for naturalization (Declaration No. 380) 7 Jan 1937 in Bedford, Lawrence County, IN, naturalized (Petition No. 239) 15 Dec 1938 in Bedford, Lawrence County, IN)

Does the above help anyone?

Re: Meno(s) in PA

hurleyup — 2004-05-22 07:59:59Z

I think the meno's are part of my family. I have been just starting to research them. My dad was Charles Meno from Pennsylvania Please let me know what you have to help me in finding my grandparents. Thanks very much. Melodyh

Re: HI Erica - Meno Name

2002-10-17 00:54:38Z

Hi,

Karen Meno and I thought that we might be related, but unfortunately we didn't have enough info to validate. We suspected that my grandfather, Rosario Minisci and her grandfather or great grandfather might have been brothers (I believe his name was Georgio)....who had changed his name from Minisci to Meno. No one in her family knew, and my grandfather died when my mom was less than a year old. My grandmother died in 1972. My grandfather was born in 1881 in San Giorgio Albanese, Italy.
Karen mentioned a "Joe Meno" family in Chicago that she was related to, so in a long winded reply...the answer is MAYBE...Charlie

Hi Charllie

Thanks for your message. I am related to the Meno branch in Chicago. Are you? Maybe we can merge our family trees!

Re: HI Erica - Meno Name

2002-10-16 21:42:09Z

My mother's maiden name is Minisci [family came from San Giorgio Albanese (province of Cosenza, region of Calabria), Italy]. She was born in 1911 in Western NY (Hornell), and my grandfather's name was Rosario Minisci (born in 1881 in Italy). A number of years ago, I met a woman who lives in Cincinnati named Karen Meno, who said that her family name was originally Minisci. She also said that they originated in western NY area, and that there was another branch of the family near Chicago.

Chris,
I am not sure about your grandfather. There is a person somewhere on this message board, that has a partial background of of the Meno's. I haven't contacted him as of yet. Family reasons. If you would like to try and get in touch with him. His name is Greg Menagh # 812.273.5207
Hope to start up again soon. Good luck. Kathie

MENO/MINEAU

2001-05-11 07:12:33Z

Hi Steph, i have my Gr-Grandmother's baptism certificate from 1888, which has the MENO surname, and her diary from 1907, in which she lists herself as Amy MENO, and her father as Frank MENO. All other records list them as
MINEAU after 1912. Frank MENO is recorded as Francis/Francois MINEAU on his death certificate and his headstone 7-Nov-1915 Moosup, CT. If you have French-Canadian MENO ancestors, it is possible they were once MINEAU'S. Some of the French Canadian MINEAU'S were shortened from LUMINEAU. There were many MINEAU'S from the Maskinonge area of Quebec, and a high concentration of MINEAU'S who migrated to Michigan. - George

French Meno's, et al

2001-05-10 21:30:26Z

GEORGE, THANK YOU!!!!! I was really beginning to think that some over-zealous family historian was trying to give our bunch some "flavor" and just made up a story about another spelling. Do you have records of your Gr-Gr Mother with all/any of the names you listed?

Thanks again! Good to know somebody's out there.

The "French Connection"

2001-05-08 17:49:24Z

Just to let you know, my gr-grandmother was Amy MINEAU, and her family went for many years by the MENO surname. I have documents listing her parents as MENO'S around 1900. They eventually went back to MINEAU. Other variations are: LUMINEAU, MIGNOT, MINEAULT, MENEAULT and MINO. Has made the search difficult! - George
