Married in Monessen, Pennsylvania where they lived the rest of their lives. I am interested in corresponding with anyone who may have information on relatives in Italy, my great grandparents, etc. : Dominic, my maiden name is D'Emilio. I, too am interested in discovering more about my heritage. My grandfather came to America at the age of 14 and settled in Pittsburgh, PA - worked in the steel mills. He brought with him pottery from his family's mill in Palena. Do you know if it is still in existance? Internet searches have not proven anything at this point. Do you have any information regarding the D'Emilio Pottery in Palena? Isn't it amazing that your grandparents settled in the same region??? Thank you for your help. My grandfather had a brother in Pittsburgh......perhaps we are related. Please contact me at Sollajr- AT - aol.com Jim Sollars Follow Ups:
