I'm happy to hear from you and am quite willing to have a dialogue. My mother, who married Ernest Eacobacci, son of Joseph, is with me right now and has many stories which we children love hearing. She tells me that she and my father drove your grandmother, Caroline, to New York from Mass. to visit her (Caroline) sister Rose who was married to Louis Barbieri. Caroline remained in New York and eventually married Ralph Maccarello. Which of Caroline's daughters is your mother? I remember seeing Marguerite and Marie in Weymouth when both my sister and myself were visiting our grandparents. My mother and father married in New York and we were raised there. I now live in Westchester County, NY. My father's family remained in Weymouth and we have continued to visit over the years. With relatives still living on Carroll Street where Annie and Hoppy still live we would occassionally see each other. Mom tells me that Hoppy's name is Joseph Purpura. My e-mail address is
