HER HUSBAND SAYS HE CAME HOME TO FIND ALL THE CHILDREN HOME ALONE EXCEPT FOR HIS WIFE FLORENCE AND 1 YEAR OLD AMELIA. (7 YEARS LATER HE RECEIVED HIS DIVORCE AFTER BECAUSE SHE WAS NEVER LOCATED) FIRST HE DROPPED OFF THE BOYS, FRANCIS AND LEO, OFF AT THE HOME FOR LIL WANDERERS IN BOSTON. (UNDER THE NAME FARDELLA) ( I GUESS HE FIGURED HIS WIFE WASNT GOING TO COME BACK ANYTIME SOON?) FRANCIS WAS LATER FOUND, GOING BY FRANK BILODEAU. LEO WAS NEVER FOUND. :~( THE DAUGHTERS, HELEN AND EVELYN, WERE DROPPED OFF AT THE FRANCO AMERICAN SCHOOL IN LOWELL, MA. THEY WERE BOTH BROUGHT BACK HOME LATER. (EVELYN IS MY GRANDMOTHER) BUT NO TRACE OF FLORENCE OR AMELIA :~( THE TWO SCENERIOS ARE THIS EITHER FLORENCE LEFT WITH THE BABY TO START A NEW LIFE, (BUT WHY WOULD SHE LEAVE THE REST??) OR FOUL PLAY. REGARDLESS, ITS A MYSTERY, I WONDER SOMETIMES IF MAYBE AMELIA WAS ALSO PLACED IN AN ORPHANAGE OR ON THE BABY TRAIN, BUT IT LOOKS AS IF I MAY NEVER KNOW. SO IF ANYONE MAY HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT FLORENCE, AMELIA, OR LEO, i WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY. TY CHRISTINA :~)
