The idea that they were part of the massive migration to America and set up lives that eventually brought my husband to me is wonderful to think about...but also daunting. The idea of being away from your family for an extensive time in a foreign country is a disconcerting thought. But I am sure glad they did so!

They had their children once here in the U.S. I have had the darnedest time finding him on passenger lists. Luckily have his photos and living relatives who have written information down. Passenger lists kind of drive me crazy.zelserskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392051499155306765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989121904965444460.post-77872009559199439722011-09-01T21:39:21.955-05:002011-09-01T21:39:21.955-05:00I have definitely been finding "birds of pass...I have definitely been finding "birds of passage" among my husband's Sicilian and Neapolitan ancestors, but I only have the records of the trips to this country to document that fact - I would also be curious to know about return trips if you find anything out.Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.com
