I was searching for an article on my cousin in Boston when the search popped your discussion up.
My family, specifically my grandparents were from Minturno Italy. It is south of Rome on the western coast of Italy.
My cousin, Ann Pisanelli, had done a genealogy some years ago. I have not seen it but I believe it has much of the information you are looking for.
Much of my immediate family lives in the Cleveland, OH area. My father used to visit family in NY when he was young. Let me know what you find out or if you need any more information.
