We're happy to have helped. This forum and a number of others have a wonderful group of folks who enjoy helping others find their roots. Still looking for a 1930 census for them.

Nice pick up on the manifest about him being blind in his left eye.

Yes, it's a terrific group. Makes me want to try helping out others the best I can. I'm new at this, though. I may get an account on ancestry. I could use that free one... family search or whatever it was I forget the name but I remember someone posting about it earlier. At this point I'm pretty happy with what I've gathered. I guess I'll try searching deeper from her on... maybe I'll look into my mother's side more (Which I previously knew more about) later.

Take care all, and a happy holiday to all!

Pistolpete,

If you remember the earthquake that happened last April in Italy, your great grandfather's village suffered pretty extensive damage. Below is a link to a video.

I remember hearing something about an earthquake in Italy.

Wow, wonder if it had any effect on his (Well my) relatives descendants that stayed their. Damage does look pretty extensive... that's awful.

Hi. I know exactly who you are talking about. They were cousins of mine. I will contact my godmother who knows exactly who all these people were. In fact your grandmother was her aunt, I believe.

Are you still interested in info on Paul Chelli? I know exactly who these people are. You have my grandmother Antonina Alagna Amari marrying my father in 1942. That is not right. My mother was Marianna Amari (Antonina and Dominick's daughter). She married Anthony Alessandro (Alexandro) in 1942 (my father). Antonina Alagna Amari was married to Dominick Amari and he died in 1938. My cousin knows about Paul Chelli. He was a musician.
