ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I NOTICED THAT BRUNO CIALONE POSTED AN E-MAIL FOR THE WHERABOUTS OF A LONG DISTANT RELATIVE. GIOVANNI STAYED IN ASTORIA, NY BACK IN 1880'S OR 1900'S ? HIS BROTHER WENT OVER TO WAYNE, NJ AND ESTABLISHED A FARM--MANY CIALONE REUNIONS WERE HELD THERE,,,THERE ARE CIALONES IN NORTHERN NEW JERSEY. MY GRANDMOTHER LUCIETTA CIALONE (NEE DI DONATO) CAME FROM TARANTA PELIGNA AND MARRIED NICOLA CIALONE. MY FATHER MICHAEL ALEXANDER CIALONE PASSED ON BACK 1996. UNCLE ROBERT MAINTAINS THE ORIGINAL CIALONE FAMILY DWELLING IN ASTORIA BUILT BY GIOVANNI. I HAVE SEEN PHOTOS OF TARANTA PELIGNA; THE TOWN LOOKS FABULOUS ! WHAT A PLACE TO ESCAPE FROM THE WORLD ! I HAVE A LETTER THAT I KEPT FROM TARANTA PELIGNA THAT STATED AN ANCESTOR GOING BACK TO THE 16TH CENTURY WAS AN ARCHDEACON. DOES ANY ONE HAVE A CLUE CONCERNING THE ANCESTORY OF CIALONES GOING BACK BEYOND THE 18TH CENTURY ?
