Then you also know there is a good possibility that you and I are related, if not distantly. I show a gg aunt, Filemena Staine born abt 1852, who married Angelo Michele Pupo or Pupe. She was the descendent of Guiseppe Staine and Agate Oliverio.

Do you know or have any theories on why such close knit families would sometimes end on different continents when they immigrated? How fortunate that some (or many?) could read and write from Pedace. They enabled us to stay in touch with living relatives.
