Yes it is easy to get mixed uo. This is what I have so far. I have traced John's family back to Nunzio and Rosaria (Sadie). I am trying to find out when Nunzio cane to America. The census says he came in 1906 and that he was 34 in 1920. I know he died on May 12, 1925. After he died his wife, Sadie (Rosario) and his (Nunzio's) sisters and brothers were fighting. She ended up having to put some of their children (Giacomo (Jack) who is my husband's grandfather, Giacomina and Benneddetto in a home for a few years. So this is the point where I am stuck. I cannot trace the family back any further than this :( Do you have any more info? PS and yes the census reported him to be a painter!
