Hi, I am the Joe Lipari your are looking for and possibly your 2nd cousin once removed. Born 12/25/51, Atlantic City. Father was Ross, son of Guissippi, from 30 N Mississippi. I grew up on Denny St in AC. I was very close to Gene, his wife Marge (whom you mention above), and Marjorie Ann Litzie. Gene was my 2nd cousin, and Marjorie Ann was 2nd cousin once removed. But, I always called them Uncle Gene and Aunt Marge. Marjorie Ann and I were very close, both only childs. Used to love to visit them on Washington Ave.
Would spend lots of time in my childhood at various family events at 30 N Mississippi Ave and nearby St Michael's church.
Would love to hear from you, and learn more about you. EMail is
