How are you all? I haven't communicated with anyone since last year. In reading over all the messages left on the message board, I find that Rudy Lora and Giovanna Lora are the only two people from Italy that have left messages on the network. All the others appear to be of Latino heritage from various parts of the U.S.and Canada.You mentioned,Rudy,that your family is from Venice. My family, that is my father and his entire family originated in a town called Novale in the Province of Vicenza and District of Valdagno. These areas are just north of Venice or in the suburbs of Venice. He came to the U.S. in 1907 with his brothers and were followed by his parents (my grandparents) in 1911 and settled in Woonsocket, R.I. My fathers full name was Alfredo Girolamo Lora. His parents names were Daniela and Antonio Lora. My father had two brothers named Antonio and Arthur. I could tell you more but I don't think it would help you any further. If any of this information is of any help to you, let me know. Since both my parents died many years ago, and I don't have any more relatives in Italy, I cannot get any more information with greater detail. Rudy, if you have any relatives still living, can you get any information from your family or anyone else? Giovanna; If you think we have a connection here and can obtain more information, please communicate with me also.
Hope to hear from you soon. Regards to you both. Al. Lora
