Pat,
Your grandmother and my grandfather, Olivardo, were brother and sister. You and I have met many years ago...when you and your mother visited our family in Baltimore. I am not Elsie Cenci, I am Lili China. Try e-mailing me directly, I could not reply to you directly.

My grandmother's maiden name was Beatrice Cenci (I think this is how it was spelled). She came to America around the same time (early 1900's). She came from around Potenza, Italy and she had a brother Joseph (I think) that came with her. HOwever, he returned to Italy.

Hello,i have a relative called Beatrice Cenci who went to the states around 1900 and i think she went with a sister called Anita,but they came from Colle San Magno.Possibly quite a few 'Beatrice Cenci's'.

Hi Beatrice.... Sorry I made an error. My grandmother maiden name was "Conci", not Cenci. She came to America in 1913 from Nogarè, Province of Trentino. She also came with her brother who returned to Italy.
Thanks anyway for your post and again my apologies for my mistake.

Donna, You should really leave the family in Italy alone. No one there wants anything to do with your children as they were such a discrace to the family name. There is nothing that they will inherit, so there is no point in them continuing to try to contact the castle or any "relatives". The Italian family does not know them and the way they see it is that they have no ties to them. Maybe they should have treated their family better while they were still living.

I do not know any of the extended family in or from Italy. My late mother-in-law was from there and she never let her grandchildren know anything about her family. They just want to know anything about them, as they are as proud of their Italian heritage as they are the Spanish, Scottish, English, and Native American. If this offends you, I am sorry, but I feek they should have the right to know all of their family. Even if that family does not want to know or share lives with them. They are very prooud of their father who was born in Rome and raised in Texas, USA and he was not rude to them but could not share too much because he never went back after he started high school. They want nothing monetary, just information on the family they never met while their Nona lived. Why they are a disgrace I would like to know? They never treated them in any untoward way as they were never allowed to know them. I believe you do not really know what you are talking about!
