I think he descends from Louis Petagna born in 1839 in Naples, Italy who came to United States about 1871 or 1872. His first daughter was Adelaide born in 1871. I think he married his second wife, Mary Drew, July 11 1872 and then had Louis Petagna in 1874. He lived in LA and moved to Missouri and married Velma Reed. They had 3 boys--Louis, Reuelle, and Ruston. Would like to hear from any descendants....it is possible they were adopted.
