Message Board - archive 22From: Karen Messer This is a wonderful website and has given me much insight into the lives of old. I am a descendant of Geatano Peter Crolla. His parents Antonio & Felic came over in 1880, 1881 census @ 9 Lees St, Ancoats, bringing with them their family - Vittorio, Eugenio, Geraldo, Marie, Johanna and Geatano. After 4 yrs laying dormant, I decided to pick up the scent again and after only a month, I have been able to obtain the family tree's of the 3 brothers to Geatano and now branching out on Johanna. It would be lovely to hear from anyone associated with the Crolla family, and I am hoping your website may shed some light on the apparent "Family Arguement" that split the Crolla brothers, 2 are believed to have gone to Scotland. Unfortunately the Mother "Felic Crolla" was responsible for passing down a faulty gene which has wreaked havoc for 5 generations. I haven't been to Italy, nor have I have been brought up within the Italian community but I do find it very interesting to read about their lives over the years. Great reading - Great website. Regards. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Julia Lovell Hi Tony -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Donna Mathews I was wondering if you could help me trace my family tree.

My grandmother was katheleen she married john blackbird & had 5 children. there son John was my father. If any of this sounds familiar please feel free to im me or email me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Mary Atkinson Dear Mr Rea I am looking for information on the Forte family. My Father Achille Capocci said he came over to this country in 1911 on a boat with, if I remember rightly, Rocco Forte. Do you know where Rocco disembarked? I have a feeling it was Scotland and wondered if they both landed there. I'm trying to get a picture of my fathers life when he first came over to this country. I always thought he came to London but I may be wrong, he could have disembarked anywhere. All I know is he mentioned coming over with a Forte and they became friends I hope you have more information on the Forte family especially the one who came to the British Isles in 1911. I look forward to your reply, Kind regards -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: lise grigsby I found your web site great. I'm a Reale as far as I know, my family is from Sicily, I'm third generation in the country, now in Fla. we did live in Md. All males in my line were named Anthony, and as far as I know I was the first girl in 100 years. Thank you even if I don't hear anything back from you I loved your site. Thank you, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Tom Iafrate Tony, My name is Tom Iafrate and I live in the United States. I just discovered your website and was very impressed with the work you have done. My family are descendents of Marco and Domenica Rea. My cousins and I began assembling a family tree a few years back. The only information we have is: Domenica was born in July. Marco and Domenica had a daughter, Victoria, who was born May 5, 1850 in Arpino and died November 20, 1934. Victoria married Giovanni Iafrate, who was born in 1850. Their son, Domenic Iafrate was born May 25, 1889 in Arpino. He died in the United States on July 12, 1952. Dominic was my grandfather. My wife and I toured Arpino and the home of my grandparents, Settefrati (approx. 30km East of Arpino), in 2001. I have some photographs of the area, which I can forward. Please feel free to use this small amount of information. Do you have any information which may link our ancestors? Sincerely -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: paul marshall Dear Anthony Rea I am mailing you to thank you for producing such fascinating books and this great website, it has really helped me in researching my family history. Strangely enough you are a distant relative of mine, I've spotted that in your book 'Memories of Italian Colony of Ancoats' you wrote about your uncle Jess Visco, he is also my great uncle and my great-grandfather is Carlo Visco. but Ihave the not so Italian second name of Marshall because Susan Visco my granma married Samual Marshall, they had Bernard, John, and Lou as sons and i am Bernard Marshall's son, anyway Iam thankfull for your fantastic information . Yours faithfully -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Alessandro Bertani Ho 57 anni e, a fine ottobre, sarò in pensione. Il mio obiettivo sarebbe quello di poter trascorrere circa un anno in Inghilterra al fine di perfezionare il mio inglese che, per il momento, è piuttosto elementare. Per far questo sarei alla ricerca di un lavoro qualsiasi che mi consentisse di mantenermi durante quasto mio soggiorno inglese. Non ha importanza il tipo di lavoro: qualsiasi lavoro - purchè lo possa fisicamente fare- per me andrebbe benissimo. La retribuzione, anche molto modesta, andrebbe comunque benissimo. A me basta mantenermi e poter studiare un po'. Ringrazio sentitamente chi vorrà fornirmi qualche indicazione in merito.
