another thing....

Post by themelmel »

i just thought of this too....there's a woman named theresa that lives in Georgia (USA) and she is a cousin of mine....her father and my father and his cousin pete from Michigan are all first cousins. their fathers were all brothers....
Theresa's father is named Louis (Luigi by birth) his father was Angelo (murdered over a game of fingers sometime in the 20's).
Angelo was the brother to Pete Viselli in michigan's father (John).
and my father Pete Viselli's father Joseph (Guiseppi) was another brother...they had a fourth brother named Henry. i hope someone out there can get some help from this info...and can help me a little.
Theresa told me that after her grandfather was murdered her father became an orphan. and now he's in his 70's and is not well at all....she's trying to find all the cousin's etc. that she can because he feels so upset all the time thinking he's the only one left...she doesn't think he'll last much longer.
so i hope i can find out more stuff to help her out. :wink:

This is a hard message to read...too much explanation and not enough information.

I have attempted to determine what you wrote and here is what I think you meant:

Angelo, Joseph, John, and Henry were brothers.
Joseph was the father of Peter, your father.
Angelo was the father of Luigi...the father of cousin Theresa in GA. Also
Angelo was killed by cheating at a game.
John was the father of Peter, a cousin living in Michigan.
Henry was another brother, but missing in the info.

I would assume, that maybe the father of the brother's was a Pietro since two grandson named that...but that would be a guess.

But where did they live? about when did they live in the US? What was the name of all their children? Are you seeking descendentS? What about the white Pages in the sames areas?

You send a confusing note. Surely with you and Theresa and Pete in Michigan you can come up with a list of children had by these men and grandchildren, etc....

Or are you seeking something in Italy? Have you been through the civil records? What have you found?

If you want help, need to know what you know, what you need.......very specifically

Hi - my name is Diane Viselli; my father is Louis Anthony Viselli in Hinesville, GA & my sister is Theresa Viselli-Smith in Savannah, GA.
Just thought I'd introduce myself since we're cousins.

Please reply, I look forward to hearing from you. FYI - I live in Oakland, CA.

I was online & I discovered that dad's cousing Pete had been searching for him for a few years. I immediately called my father and let him know, as well as cousing Pete.

Years ago I visited Pete's father in Binghamton, NY.

Take care & please reply to this email.

Hi - it's Diane; I forgot to mention that my father had 2 half-brothers by the last name of Roccasecca. Benedetta Guglielmo was mother to all 3 boys. My grandmother passed away before I was born, however we share the same birthday.

My father married Fujiko Kamimura when he was stationed in Japan in 1956. I may be able to give you the info or names that you are looking for.

Thanks again,

Diane Viselli
