I know some info, if your father was Charlie he was a twin. Angelina his grand mother, died in the earthquake, a son and daughter survived by crawling runder a table, the earthquake was terrible with large waves and massive aftershocks. Michele Russo , charlies father, was living in Louisiana at the time of the earthquake, your grandfather was already in America when the earthquake hit.
The strange thing was that the family was comming to America the day after the earthquake, they didn't come , the earthquake killed their mother two children surcived, the daughter and son, were very young children until about ten years later., did they come to america Hope this helps
