Hi Patty,
Now that we are in communication through Pam LaRocca, I hope that you are finding the details that you need about your family. Your father Raymond is one of the names of my grandparents childern whom we could not verify. Emanuele was my father's uncle. My dad, Salvatore Xifo's father's name is Giorgio Xifo and his brother was Emanuele. I never heard much about Emanuele in my youth and nothing was ever mentioned about Raymond. Can you tell us when he was born and died (unless he is still alive) and where he grew up? Who was his wife (your mother) and what are the names of your siblings? Can't wait to hear more info from you.
MM
