Oh my, you all are great! I have to take this all in. I know for a fact, the last entry is my grandmother and grandfather because all the siblings are my aunts and uncles. My father was born in swampscott.
I am just so overwhelmed.
I have searched the census etc with no findings. However I see the last name is spelled incorrectly. Wow, I just don't know what to say. How can you thank people like you all? I will look everything over a little at a time....I'm not real fast so it will take me a couple of days. Thank you all so much for such support that I am not use to without asking for a couple of hundred dollars and the wrong info.
You all are the best!
Linda,

You know how to give people goosebumps and cry....happily of course.
I need to go out this morning but when I come back, I will not leave my computer. Most of what I see seems correct but I'll check it out to see. Wow second marriage for both grandparents? How in the world do you all do this? My grandfather Co owned a shoe factory in Lynn, so like I said before, the records you are sending look very close to good. You wouldn't believe I've been doing this for 20 years with still not much to go on. Just little drib drabs of info. Guess that means I'm bad huh? The names in Italy are so alike. It seems the fathers, brothers, sisters and mothers have the same names within the same family making it very difficult for someone like me to authenticate. In Lynn there was 2 Colella families with yes as I said before the same names. There is a Salvatore Colella buried not far from my father. He is no relation. Very confusing. I'm stopping here because I'm so excited I could go on for days. VJ, I will check out the link you included. Thank you.
Thank you again and have a good day,
An Italian novel for kids called "La Freccia Azzurra" (The Blue Arrow) says that all the children in the world wait for Christmas Eve to get presents from Santa Clause, but Italian kids are the luckiest in the world because they get presents again on the 6th of January by the Befana. Who is the Befa...
