Looking for Donato Joseph Cilli who came from New Jersey and served aboard the USS Nereus AS-17 in the early 1960s.

My grandfather was Donato Cilli from NJ was in service then. He has since passed away, quite awhile ago, I was very young when he passed. He had 7 children.

Hey there Michelle, It is your uncle David. I saw this and had to reply. Pretty fun huh that we were looking at the same thing. I thing my dad was in much earlier though. Might have to be around the 40's since then he would have been in his 20's I think. Well see you later. Luv Uncle Dave

My name is Joseph Matthew Cilli. Born in Jersey in 1972. Because Cilli is an uncommon name, the person you looking for could be on of my grandfathers cousins. I asked my father (JMC, Sr.) and the name did not ring a bell, but he said he was not very close to that side of the family.

Donato Joseph Cilli - Me!
Hi Michelle. As a fluke, I seached for myself, and found these message from a year and a half ago. Since then, Georgia, the person originally looking for me, has found me. Now I'm wondering if you and David are, in fact, relatives. Do you also have an uncle named Neal (Neil)? I briefly spoke with him approximately 14 years ago. If, in fact, I am related to you, I would very much like to hear from you.
Just in case your e-mail address has changed, I will also past this message to David.

I will try and get a hold of my uncle Dave in the next few days to see if he can come back and hit this thread. Cilli, was actually "Cillini' I believe, and was shortened when they came over from Italy if my memory serves me correct, there were many of them, and some names adjusted when they came over w/ different vowels etc. Thanks again! -Michelle
