I visited Carovilli and met Ciro and Lucy DeFrange and and their son Rudy and Rudy's sister. I am sorry but I cannot recall the sister's name. Maria Sferra and Lucy Defrange were very gratious hosts and acted as guides for me. I will be eternally grateful to them. I spent the night on two different trips with Nick and Sylvia Ricchuiti. On the second trip I had to slip out and get back to the city due to chest pains.
At the time of my first visit I had just recovered from a major heart attack and bypass surgery. I have since had the bypasses redone and am still up and about. I was certain at the time of both visits that I would be dead very soon.
Myself, my great-niece and the son of my cousin Linda are all still very much intrested in our family tree. I have not been able to get a response due to what appears to be fears that we are after property or such. I would love to have the youngsters see the old house. But ownership is not even a consideration.
Note, I met a lady named Orazia Sferra while there and I have a couple of pictures. She was living with Maria and Luigi Sferra and was a playmate of my aunt Felicia.
I would appreciate any help identifying my great, great-great and etc of both sides of the family. I have a photo of ta Sferra but I do not know his given name nor have I found his wife's name.
PS. Aunt May Sferra was married to Vince Stizzi,
