Debi,
In what county was Andrea's WWI card registered?

There's an Oliver St., in Brooklyn as well :-?

Also an Olive St., in Brooklyn (maybe that's what is on the WWI card?)

And they probably wouldn't have moved far from her parents on Cherry St. :-)

Don't know if you have this 1910 Census for Stella Blumetti and family...
They live in New Jersey (birthplace of her children as listed in the 1920 and 1930 census).

Oldest child is Mary (Maria?) age 14...good possibility for wife of Andrea...

Thanks, Tessa :) I do have both of those and Mary is my 1st choice, too. Both she and Katie are gone from the house in 1920, but given that Katie would only have been 14 (at the time of the 1st marriage record we found for Andrea)...I think (hope?) Mary is more likely.

Tried to send one back to you via the system but it seems stuck in outbox rather than sent box. can you confirm receipt or not? If not is there a trick to sending?
