Hello Patricia,

What are your parents names? I can't believe none of my other research friends haven't written a response to this post yet :). We tend to write a lot, and repeat a lot. You have probably been contacted by some of these people. Just recently we found that we were in fact "from Italy" instead of French Canadian. If I remember correctly, that was the family story that was always told. Many people didn't know that it was a story though until just recently. We have found that most, if not all, Notines in the USA are related through one particular branch. Please let me know more and I will share with you what we know. How long ago did your father come over from Italy? Thanks for sharing any information.

Sincerely,
Lori Gallagher (married into the Notines)
