Oh Monica, you are so much more advanced that me in this family research. All of my knowledge is from first hand accounts and my memories. Are you Erma's daughter? I don't remember much being said about Carmela's brothers, but I remember talk about "Maria" and how different she was from Carmela.No, I don't have a tree on Ancestry, I just come on once in a while and kinda poke around and see what I can find. I can't believe I came across you post from 2010, has to be divine intervention, lol.
My cousin, Joanne, Bruna's daughter, sat down with her one summer about a year or two before she died, and wrote down all her childhood memories. Bruna died about two years ago, I think, at one month short of 102 years of age. She was my godmother and one of the sweetest people I ever knew.
I have to leave now - work day over, but I am so excited that all this happened today. If you could, can you e-mail me directly at
elaine.esposito1@gmail.com so that I don't have to check my husband's e-mail.- Thanks
Elaine
P.S. Yes, I have a good number of pictures of Carmela - would be happy to send them to you.
