Hi Carol, I'm not real sure about the Petrones as they were "in-laws" I believe Tony's father's name was Joseph.and he was from Italy. Tony (Anthony) was born 1905 and died in Phila 1986. I assumed the family was from the Scranton area, but I'm not sure. His wife, Peg (Margaret Thomas) was my father's cousin. Peg and family lived in Scranton, but when her mother died in 1918, Peg's father moved to Phila to find work and left her with my grandparents to be raised. In the 1930s, Peg joined her dad in Phila He had remarried. So Peg could have met her Tony in Phila. Very interesting anyway!! nice "talking" with you.
