I am looking for possible family related to my great grandfather Francesco/Frank Paolella who immigrated from Grazzenise, Italy to the US in the early 1900's. He first lived in the Bronx with his brother Vincenzo/Vince Paolella. Next he worked in the cotton mills in Mass for a brief time. Finally he lived in the Barrington/Bristol/Providence, RI area. His grandchildren in Rhode Island are quite elderly and don't recall their grandfather, anyone who might is no longer living.

Francesco left his wife and several children in Italy and only one son eventually immigrated. I am assuming that since he never returned to Italy, he began another family in Rhode Island?? I am looking for possible family from another marriage?? Sound familiar to anyone?? Please contact me.

Thank You,

Marie Volbeda
