are any of your Graffeo's from Paterno, or Marsico Nuovo?
I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.

_________________
No, all of my information is for Piana dei Greci or S Cristina Gela. but looking at the amount of Graffeos in Piana I would guess that they orriginated elsewhere. Some of the older info was gleened from the allegati from the marriage of Giorgio and Marianna as well as from Giorgio's brother, Stefano's marriage to his secord (or possibly third) wife, Vincenza Lascari. I haven't checked to see if the Graffeos all come from the same orriginal couple, but most that I have shown are related to one another, there are only about two pages of entries covering from about 1800 to 1900 which is just not very many, let me do some harder looking and see if they are all of one family of origin.
It is hard for me to get this forum to load this morning, but I do get notices if anything is posted on this thread.
