What were their names? Where do you live in Illinois?

[wldspirit]

They went to Springvalley first, coal mining labor, then to Pekin, Illinois,
where my Nonno bought his own coal mine.
I live Northwest of Peoria.
The Uncle's name was Francesco, he had a brother who I believe ended up in Chicago, where I was born. I can't recall the brother, somewhere in my notes I have his name.
The family was from Talamello and a few of the nearby towns in the Marche.
Family names are Cupi, Grifoni, Michi and Rapetti.
