It's great to be writing to you again. My great-grandmother was Anna Cannavino, who married Tony Donatelli, cousin of Rocco Colamarino. My grandmother is Dolores Donatelli, and my mother is Shelley. She remembers visiting you in Yonkers when she was a little girl. Anyway I have some new developments. I was visiting with my grandparents (Dolores) on Christmas and we came across a treasure trove of family memiors. I've got many postcards from Italy in the mid-1920s. One of the people writing was ADELINA DONATELLI, and they are posted from Cuppello, Chieti. They are written to my great-grandfather Tony Donatelli at an address in Sayre, Pennsylvania and when he was in the cavalry at Camp Lewis, Washington. Now I finally know the exact town where my ancestors are from, and it appears we're all from there! What have you been able to find? Happy Holidays! Follow Ups:
