I spoke to my Mom last night who is Olga de Francesco by the way. Aunt Sina (Funzi) died about 2 years ago. Her husband Julie De Sanctis died in 1989.My moms faher was Giovanni Lanzetta and he died around 1930 when my Mom was 3.He was a WWI veteran with the Italian Army. As a matter of fact I am having his medals framed very shortly. He also came from Vasto. In fact I was able to verify that he came to the US on 4/09/20 at the age of 22 on a ship called the "Taormina". My grandmother Anna re-married in 1952-54 to Mike DiPompo My Mom says that Madeline who I beieve is your Mom was her piano teacher. She remembers Albert, Earnest and Linda????I made a mistake on my previous post. Besides Josephina, Anna, Rubia or Ruby, Concetta tere brothers name was Frank not Ralph (i could've sworn i remember my grandmother telling me it was Ralph) and my Mom says there was another sister who never left Italy. I also remember my grandmother telling me that her father was the Cabinieri (police chief) in Vasto and that he died in a hotel fire that was started by his own cigarette. I remember my grandmother telling me that when she met Mike DiPompo, he told her he witnessed the fire as a little boy. Aunt Josie was married to a guy i called Uncle Mario and they moved to live in Italy in the 60's but Uncle Mario died within a year and Aunt Josie moved to California to live near her daughter. She died some years ago as I'm sure you know. Why don't you contact me at my e-mail address which is Arclight45- AT - aol.com. My mom has a photograph of all the sisters and their mother when Anna was about 5 years old. My mom is going to get it scanned and send it to me to make a copy. When i get it, i can e-mail it to you Follow Ups: Re: De Francesco in Teremo Nick Marino   Posted at: 12/14/03 (1)
