A
little clarification for the records. Recently, we were, we were looking through your sister Pat's albums and she has this
picture also. It was interesting for me to note that her picture is just
a little bit different from this one--just shifted a little bit to show
the people a little differently. It taught me to look at things very
carefully for just such differences which can lead to great discoveries.
OK
this discovery isn't a "great" one and I guess it's not even
technically a discovery nevertheless....in her album Pat has a copy of a
letter from Anna Manzelli Pitelli describing the people in the picture which corrects,
clarifies and verifies identities.
Uncle
James would be Giacomo Manzelli a barber who lived on Hamilton St with
his brother's family (Joseph and Jennie Manzelli). Grandma and Grandpa
would be Giuseppe (Joe) and Giovanna (Jennie or Anna).
"Your Mom and Dad" are James and Marguerite Coffarelli.
I think she means Aunt Dolly Emily Manzelli.
Housekeeper from New Rochelle (not a second wife as I earlier suspected).
Uncle Joe must be Joseph Manzelli her brother who was about 5 years older than her.
Anna is in the picture as well.
So that helps clear some of that up!
