Hello To Everyone From Abruzzo, (Cansano)
Yes, Cansano. As I said, My Name is Anthony Di Giallonardo. My Entire Family came from Cansano in the molise section of Abruzzo. My parents moved to NJ after WWII. most of my family Members moved to Austriala. Those are the family members I am looking for. I am looking for my father's cousins who live somewhere in Melbourne.
If there is someone in Melbourne who is a Di Giallonardo or formerly a Di Giallonardo, please e-mail me. I would like to chat with you. My Father's name is Rocco and my mother is Mariastella. I have never been to Cansano and though my Italian is rusty I hope to go back someday. If anyone from Austrialia reads this, please contact me. My father has three or five cousins who were related to him. Their names are Quido, Francesco, Gino and Giambatisa and Antonio Di Giallonardo. I don't know if any of this people still live in Austrialia or live somewhere else. This is just about all the information I have. Thanks again to everyone who is reading this.

My father's side of the family is from Campotosto, Italy. I visited that charming village last year but was unable to connect with anyone. Our son is there right now and was lucky to find some of our relatives. I love Italy and am so proud to be an Italian. My maiden name is Deli......I was born and raised in New Castle, Penna. My mother's maiden name was Orrico, from St.Caterina Albanese, Calabria.
My mother and Dad who are deceased were Tony and Mary Dely (Deli).
