I haven't done a lot of genealogy stuff, but what little info I have I can see it can be very confusing. I don't even know when my grandparents came here. The story I have from my grandfather as told to my parents and the info on his passport and the info from the Ellis Island records are all different!   <strong><em>See, J, I am thinking Heather might leave you at home and come to Calabria with Jennifer! lol </em></strong>   The trip sounds fun…but Heather probably wouldn’t go for me traipsing around Italy with another woman.

We've got a bit of experience with diving into Calabria in search of family history. I'd love to volunteer that we could join her to help with the driving and such, but a return to visit is now going to be something like 16-18 months away. We're expecting an addition to the family in August, and we won't be doing international travel until she's around a year old. Of course not being able to visit Italy means that ticket prices seem to be getting lower and lower while we can't take advantage of them!   <strong><em>I'm super excited about that new baby, Rich. Will pass on your info to Jennifer. Thanks. </em></strong>   Feel free to put Jennifer in touch with me. We’ve got a bit of experience with diving into Calabria in search of family history.

Great idea. Then she can be with someone when she “wants” to, but have some alone time, as well.
