I have been trying to track down my family roots for a long time. It seems that all Poveromos on here find their relatives so I need to keep trying.
My Grandfather was Paul born in NYC 1914. Paul's brothers were Vito, Nicky, Tony, Michael, sister Lena. His father was Louis, born in Bari, Italy. Louis's wife was Carmela (I think maiden name was Cupertino). From what I'm told, I think my great grandfather Louis may have had a wife and family in Italy and then came to NYC and had a family here as well. AND that he named all of his kids in NYC the same names as the ones in Italy. The only info I'm finding is a Louis married to Angelina and all of their kids have the same names and ages as my grandfather and his brothers and sisters. Very strange...Does anybody out there have any info or think they may be related? We are primarily based out of Brooklyn, NY.
