Jacquline --
Oh my gosh! My grandfather Domenico Sferlazza came over with some cousins. Remember, I told you that.
One of the cousins last names was Dolcimascolo. I think his first name was Pietro, but again, have to check my written notes this weekend for other surnames I show linked in my Sferlazza line.
Wouldn't it be great if we had a match. So far, sounds somewhat promising.
Can you remember any other Surnames linked with your Sferlazza?
Did your Sferlazzas' ever live in NY or anywhere else besides Kansas City?
Usually the children are named with the italian naming tradition. Are you familiar with that? Reason is I too have a Rosa, Antoinette, in my line and many other first names that may be in your line too.
Are any of the Sferlazzas' you visited in Italy (or their family members) still in contact with you, or are they still alive?
Wow, can't believe this. Dolcimascolo was my grandfather's cousin.
Let's keep our fingers crossed. We may have a match. :-)
Write back with anything else you can think of and like I said, I will match up with my notes this weekend.
