Tord,
Edward Joseph Gentile and Alice Florence Ohlin were my grandparents. They had a son Edward George Gentile and a daughter Linda Gail Gentile - Parisi. My Grandparents owned a pharmacy in Old Greenwich, CT for 30 years.
I have been trying to find more information about the Ohlin family as well. I heard that Carl was killed in a car accident. His wife was Alma Sophia Johanssen (Born 19 Jan 1880 in Sweden and died 15 May 1970 in Old Greenwich, Connecticut).
Alma was my great grandmother who passed before I was born. She lived with Alice and Edward for many years. She took care of my mother (Linda) and uncle (Eddie, Jr.) while their parents worked long hours at the pharmacy. I've been told she was an excellent cook and was very loving.
I would really like to learn how you are related and make more of a connection. You can email me at
jamiparisi@yahoo.com.
Attached are 2 photos. One of Edward & Alice in front of the Pharmacy. The other is a photo of Alice with her children (Linda & Eddie, Jr.) and Alma sitting in a chair in the background.
I look forward to hearing from you.
