Hi. I'm Judith Sinclair living north of Chicago. My grandmother, my mother's mother, was Madalena Sbertoli Arado and my grandfather was August (Agostino) Arado. I have seen your threads of correspondance with Maureen and others and I am wondering if you ever got the email from Denise who said she would send you and Maureen everything she had.
I tried contacting Denise but the email came back. Anything you can tell me?
In your message on Jan. 18th, 2010 you name my great grandparents, Francesco and Geroloma Sbertoli from a baptismal certificate. In my mother's family records she wrote the name 'Henry' next to Romeo Sbertoli's name. She called him Uncle Henry. I knew my mother's uncle Frank Sbertoli, can still see his face. Mary Caprini and her son Anthony, they are so clear to me. And her aunt Amelia who everyone called "Mills" died just a few days before my wedding--she was making little bags of almonds for that day. I visited her several times on my way to and from Mundelein College in Chicago in the early 60's. She lived very close to Wrigley Field. All fresh memories as if from yesterday. Very very few still carry the memories that we are trying to gather. I'd appreciate anything you could send.
