Random stuff as meteorological summer begins.
I've been unable to close any doors on those open dates in the family
tree recently but I have found a little tidbit I thought you might
enjoy. From the Brooklyn Daily Star April 1925 (or maybe 1926--it's a
little blurry):
Although it appears there was another Peter Manzelli nearby in the same
time period, this "bad boy" is definitely your mother's uncle Peter,
since the home address listed in this article matches the longtime
Manzelli homestead. I guess smart-mouthing authority is a long standing
tradition for young squirts like Peter. I'm afraid it's quite possible
this relative may have been something of a criminal mind in his young
adulthood.
Your grandfather James Coffarelli was involved in an accident with a
fire truck rushing into service. Once again, I could determine this is
"your" James Coffarelli from the address given. Brooklyn Standard Union
Oct 1922:
I'm not certain what an "automobile truck" is but this matches up pretty
well with James' occupation as a chauffeur. Good to know no one was
hurt.
