Rose,
My grandfather was Luigi Cantalini. He married Maria Domenica Troiani and came to New York on May 21, 1920.
I am the oldest daughter of their oldest daughter, Agatha. They had 5 daughters. All are still living except one that died as a child.
I just discovered (on Ellis Island website) the day they arrived in America is the same date as my husband and my anniversary. (we got married in New York!)
We plan a trip to Rome (and Aquila) next May (2002).
I have wanted to go for 20 years & hope to be able to research well. I need to ask my aunt if she still contacts any relatives in Italy.
I'd be thrilled to hear from you.
Suzanne
