#1: Breakthrough FINALLY! Author: Cathy, Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2008 12:37 am ---- WOO HOO!! FINALLY!! I have waited over a year scouring the Italian records looking for the next generation back. Tonight I found the processetti records of a woman with an unfamiliar name. Then I saw her parents names - Luigi Napolitano and Maria Rua - my grandfather's grandfather on his father's side!! Poor Luigi was already dead which is why I have not found anything past him. Included was Luigi's death record and his father's death record which included his parent's names! WOO HOO!! Then I realized, I already had these documents!!! They were sent to me by a man in Portugal! So I guess I am related to him!

Oh yes, Liz...with these records, I discovered that Domenico Garrafa's grandmother is the sister of my g g g grandfather!!!! So now I can give them the rest of their Napolitano line because it is mine too. We are related on both sides of thed family! Dios mio! I am going to need another translation for them Liz. WOO HOO!
