Hi Tina Many thanks for the details.Have just checked my family list and found Dominico VELARDO,son of Paulo and mother Lucia VELARDO nee Capocci. Lucia was my grandfathers elder sister (By 10 years).So any other information would be most usefull. Family lore had told me that they lived in Wales,but as of today, could not prove as fact.Will have to research, and find if Dominico married and had any children. Dominico,mother Lucia, was born in Spain of Italian parents. Our search now will mainly center on finding Lucia,s birth place in Spain ,which may also lead us to where her parents married ,also, in Spain,circa 1875 to 1883.
