Christine writes: I've recently discovered your
web site, for which I'm grateful. I've also recently returned from Sicily
where I, too, met with Father Graffagnino in Salaparuta, whose work was a
wonderful find. In looking at our branch, there seem to be some errors, or
you have information that doesn't exist in our records, and I'd like very
much to know about them. As far as I know, there were only three children
of Leonardo Salvaggio and Caterina Graffagnino. I also have a few different
dates than are posted.
The only portion of the family tree that I'm focusing on right now is that directly related to my grandfather, Rosario Salvaggio, son of Leonardo Salvaggio and Caterina Graffagnino. The dates I have for Leonardo Salvaggio are 1840-July 8, 1933. He and Caterina were married on february 4, 1877, so the other estimated dates are a bit off as well. This information I obtained from the local office "comune" when I visited Poggioreale in June of this year. The date of death was official, and he was 93, so we're calculating the birth date. As far as I have known, there were only three children. Of course the others may have been infant deaths, which the rest of the family may not have kept track of over time. The three Salvaggios who we know of, whose direct descendants I visited this summer were: Rosario 1887-1961, Rosa 1890-1978, and Maria 1894-1973. (The dates came from their descendants, except for Rosario, whose my mother and Aunt supplied.) As I look at the difference between the date when their parents were married and the date of the oldest, it makes sense that the other children listed on your web site were born first and died, given the propensity to have children soon after marriage at that time. I look forward to hearing how this information fits with your other sources. Christine Ewy, Palatine, Illinois (Originally from New Orleans/Metairie) [see below] |

Terry writes: I almost hate to mention this....But we moved....AGAIN! We are back in Dallas, Texas. Can you believe it! ha ha! Mark's company - Resumix was purchased by a Manhattan based company (Hotjobs.com). They wanted us to relocate to NY. After a lot of job hunting in New Mexico (as we were trying to stay near our families), the passing of my Grandfather (on my Mom's side - Michael Onufer) and my Mom needing to move to North Carolina to take care of my Grandmother - we decided to contact friends in Dallas and see what happens. And soooo we are back here! Mark now works for Lockheed Martin Missles and FireControl in Dallas. [see below] |

Terry and husband, Mark, have since moved "back home" to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Terry writes "My life has completely changed...and for the best...as my quality of life has increased 100%." Congratulations from the "extended" family and best wishes to all. |
