In Phila. it's too coincidental that the surnames are the same. Italian American families keep track of each other there - much better than some other ethnic groups I'm familiar with (LOL ! Laughing at my husband saying "What does that mean?"...he who has no idea where his cousins are or even WHO his cousins are! - Lithuanians...JEEZ!) so it maybe he's related or he might at least have a clue who is. And he's from the area where your Antonia was situated. Here's his link at the City Goverment page. _http://www.phila.gov/citycouncil/dicicco/index.html_ (http://www.phila.gov/citycouncil/dicicco/index.html) May not pan out but if you don't try, how will you know? Good luck.
