Hi, Mary,
In my excitement, I realized I didn't answer you. Tony & I live in Chester, Delaware Co., PA (yes, were on opposite sides of the country). Tony's parents are/were Robert F. & Marilyn Lorman Gargiulo. I'm sure you didn't meet him, although both of us sent a lot of time on the Jersey coast growing up, You might have met his older sister, Roxanne Gargiulo Fechtman or their elder half sister, Sharon Gargiulo, though. There's a story here of mini series length to explain it all. As I said, email me at my hotmail addy & I'll explain in depth.
Your father-in-law, if I remember correctly, died in Point Pleasant Beach. I practically grew up there. We had a place down there off Ocean Avenue; down near the inlet. It's so different now...makes me sad to visit. I just hate those condos.
I can't wait to compare notes with you. How fortunate to find someone who has had so much research experience on our Schambachs.
Do you see Tony's Aunt Betty (Gargiulo-Adriance) at all? She's out on your coast. Uncle Ken was the one who told us about the Schambach who printed Confederate money. You know, that's funny, because I just read (today) about that subject. Seems there was a contract in place with printers in New York, before the outbreak of the War and they honored their agreement (at least for a short while). That's pretty cool to think our Schambach's were involved in that and it makes perfect sense now! I will close for now...I'm working on a new gown for the two re-enactor Christmas parties we've been invited to attend...so much work, so little time! Will talk to you again soon.
