Viv, By "fellow-born", does that mean you came from the Bronx?
Most of the posts by WSers are just my sentiments and would just seem redundant if I posted the same thing (or comtemporanous:floorlaugh:. The folks here say things so much better than I would. I just love to read all the posts, but sometimes, in order to catch up, I'll jump pages.
Before I joined WS, I was researching my ancestors over at the Ancestry website- I'd pop over here in the evening, sometimes, but when the trial of JA started, I stopped my research and have been here ever since. Everyday.
I start my day here and end it here- blurry eyes and all. My mini-snauz. hates when I'm on the computer all day (her name is The Queen and she Demands attention- she's narcissistic that way :floorlaugh:. I have gained, at least, 5 lbs since the trial started:floorlaugh:.
I'm so excited this AM because I received some paperwork from the Archivo di Stato di Cosenza, Italy. They have sent me paperwork on my Grandfather, and Uncles (2), and I now know who my Great-Grandfather and Great-Grandmother are. When the trial is over I will do some more research on them.:great:
:seeya:
Born and raised - though I haven't lived there since I moved "downtown" in my late teens, I can see the Bronx come out of me in my increasingly, er, passionate song lyrics ("there's something about that defendant" that brings out my desire for a little street justice, Bronx-style). If she were to ever show up in my old neighborhood I guarantee some of my old paisans would be happy to take her for a ride...
Good luck with your ancestry search. What a wonderful way to honor your family and beautiful Italian heritage. Salut!
