I found a wonderful new time-waster in the form of a
website
that has TONS of old newspaper articles largely from New York State and
have been spending way too much time enthralled by my finds. FultonHistory.com has put hours and hours of work into digitizing newspaper articles to benefit all of us but especially those interested in the smaller newspapers. The Long Island Star Journal is a key newspaper for the Dalpiaz, Manzelli and Coffarelli families. I
think you're going to love these! (especially the Ruskas!!)
This appeared in the Long Island City Star Journal Thursday July 29 1948
Grandfather Giacomo Sapienza. This appeared in the Lond Island Star Journal Sat Oct 26 1963
This
is the wedding announcement for Madeline Manzelli and Joseph Basile
published in the Long Island City Star Journal Mon Aug 26 1940--wedding
trip to Lake George!
The
big one that got away from the Manzelli boys as described in the Nov 7
1939 Long Island City Star Journal. It's a special find to discover an
article in which your ancestors are quoted.
As a good Irish girl, I am enthralled with all the Italian names! They are so much fun to read - I mean, once you get a few of them straight! Thanks for all the research. It is not a time waster, if we all benefit from it, right??
ReplyDeleteThey don't put those kind of announcements in the papers anymore. It really shows how they all married people from the same neighborhood.
