Had I listened to my family stories, my gggrandmother lived to be 102 and was buried in Lowell. I found her buried in West Springfield, having died in her early 80's. Things to consider: - maybe her birth name isn't really Monica. That of course really causes challenges since her last name could be spelled any number of ways. - you indicated that you had located her in 1910. I have not. Where was she, and what was her name at the time? If she was married, it would have been at quite a young age. - since Anna appears to have been born in NJ ca 1901, and you know the names of the parents, maybe finding more about Anna (is her husband Candido?) or the parents is a better proposition than finding Monica. (Easy for me to say; I haven't succeeded yet, but I'm guessing you know a little bit more than you've already listed. :) - What else do you know about the parents Antoni and Josephine?
