Subject:   Colaianni Family

My Grandmother, Vincenza Della Croce from San Pietro Avelanno, was married to Generosa Colaianni and had two boys. Generosa died of pneumonia very young and she was left a widow. Her father, Dominic Della Croce, came to the US and made a marriage match with Ambrose Carlino (also from San Pietro) and then she came to the US and married Ambrose. My two uncles Colaianni were Teodoro, who died at the age of 21, and my uncle Adelmo who died at age 65. My Mom who is 93 remembers these details and that is where I've got this information. Perhaps this doesn't help you in any way, and then again we may be distant cousins. Oh, yes, we are all from the Pittsburgh, PA area.
