reply to message #2000/857: While reseaching my family history in Goriano Sicoli, I found the cemtetary to be a wonderful place to not only make a spiritual connection, but also each memorial gives information that might not be found in the court records. It is customary to place a picture of the departed person on the memorial. I was able to place faces with family names and feel the history of the town with the help of a relative who made connections amoung the departed through stories and facts that he had experienced growing up in Goriano.
