Perhaps, your great great grandfather who died in Italy became sick around 1909, your grandfather and great grandfather went to Italy at that time to tend to a farm or other family issues, when your great great grandfather passed away, they took care of matters and then returned in 1911. What would be interesting is did they bring additional family members with them from Italy on this return trip? Hope this is helpful. Vicky vas575@aol.com
