[TI] To Josie/ Macaluso Lines

Sat Mar 22 11:59:29 CST 2008

Hi Josie,

It looks like you've done some impressive research! It
may be tough to connect our trees until we somehow
find out who the parents of my Giuseppe Macaluso
(married to Benedetta Ganguzza) were. Maybe my
Giuseppe Macaluso was a brother or cousin to your
Camela Macaluso? And I wonder who her parents were? If
either of us goes any further back with these Macaluso
lines we should keep the other informed in case there
is a match.

Take care and Happy Easter!
