Hello,
I am restoring my family tree. My father whose family is from Torre Annunziata Naples area still lives in the area or so he believes.
My grandfather John was married there in the early 1900s. He had 2 children with his first wife and their names were Anna who worked in the Marble industry ...

I am not sure if this is a longshot or not, but my grandfather John Raia had a brother James Raia which I think in the American version of the name your looking for. They were from Naples. My DNA yielded Campagnia, Salerno Naples.

My grandfather was from Naples and born in the late 1800s. He had 2 brothers and 1 sister that I know of. Your story sounds familiar so please connect with me so we can see if we share lineage. My DNA yielded me in Campagnia, Molinise and Salerno so predominantly in Naples.

My grandfather before ...
