Hi i am new to this site and after several years in the wilderness i am trying to trace my great grandmothers family. Her maiden name was Mary ellen Travelonie and i know through Ancestry and some very kind people her father came from Nice then Italy. His name was Francesco Traveloni and i believe his father was Julio Travelonie. From what i can gather he was a taylor and musician and married Mary ann millas the daughter of sylvester millas.
