I am looking for information on my great grandmother - Angela Castagnoli and her many sisters - Luisa (Luiga), Rosa, Delfina, Adelina (nicknamed Lena), Elizabeth, Angela, Anna and a few others - I think there were 9 sisters.
They were all from the Piacenza area of Italy and came to NY at the turn of the century.
My great great grandmother's name was Rosa Alderici (not sure of spelling). Angela married Pio Della Giarina. We remember that Anna (Ernesta) married someone named Silvio Merusi, Adelina /Lena married Joseph Frachi.
I am helping my 80 year old mother find her "roots"
