There's a thread running through recent genealogy blogs and discussions
about the "great grands"-- your 16 great grandparents. Specifically,
can we name our 16 great grandparents? Must be this is where people get
stalled.
Now, in case this challenge is presented to you and for
those of you who aren't sure allow me to assist: Fortunato and
Carolina Parteli Dalpiaz; Francisco and Teresa Odorizzi; Luigi and Mary
Cella Messa; Peter and Mary Chesternino Contenta; Giuseppe (and unknown)
Coffarelli; Giovanni and Leonarda Dalami Pedano; Pietro and Margherita
De Carlo Manzelli; Graziano and Antonia Isoldi. Well, there's 15 of
them anyhow--not too bad!
One of the interesting things about
this group I noticed when I put these names together is that only
Giuseppe Coffarelli came to live in the United States (he was about 90
when he arrived to live with his son). All the others were in Italy.
It was the next generation that were the primary immigrants and
therefore how your family came to be Americans.
