[TI] Mark/Sheryl Connection / Geraci Line

Sat Mar 22 12:29:57 CST 2008

Sheryl,

I don't believe any of the Geraci's you mention below
are in my immediate line. Unfortunately, there were
and still are quite a few distinct Geraci family lines
in Termini. When I was there in 1999 someone tried to
help me and within 5 minutes they called over two
completely unrelated Geraci men who were just walking
down the sidewalk next to the Duomo but neither turned
out to be immediately related to me or to each other.
Oh well!
