Hi Joe Ierardi, my name is Charles Erardi and I'm from Boston. My grandfathers name was Joseph also. he was born in Italy in 1880 and came to Boston???? He married my grandmother in 1902. her maiden name was Theresa Fenton. His occupation, he has two listed, boot black and electrician. He got married and lived in Lynn, Mass at the time. My grandfather contacted TB and wanted to go back to Italy to die. He passed away enroute. My father, Charles J Erardi was soon born after. He never knew his dad. My grandfather changed the name but my uncle Jimmy kept the Ierardi name. I got into the Italian phone book through the computer and found there were no Erardi's listed but there were a slew of Ierardi's all over Italy. I don't think we are related but at one time we were most likely related. i now live in Florida and am retired from the bricklayers local out of Boston. A good Italian trade. My E=MAIL address is
