Hi Tom -
Here is what I've been able to find:
My maternal grandfather, Rocco Veri, left behind only one brother:
Sebastino. He married Maria (nee Veri) and had 5 children:
Yolanda, Antonetta, Nicoletta, Anna, and Domenico.
These 5 children would be in their 50-60's now, I think.

Domenico married Rosa (nee Veri - a common name in San Vito!)
and had 2 children(my generation):
Sebastino and Maria.

Both Sebastinos, Maria, Domenico, Anna, and Nicoletta
are still living in San Vito.

If my Anna matches yours (maybe she returned to Italy?),
let me know and I can send you the address I have.
We may be related in some distant way - ciao bella!
