How can I contact the people who helped you trace your family tree? My grandmother came to NJ from Sant'Arsenio!

Loved the story, especially since my family migrated from Teggiano, which is just a bit south of Sant 'Arsenio, to Brooklyn and eventually across the river to New Jersey. There are untold stories in the backkgrounds of most immigrants. Thanks for sharing yours, Chris.
Chris, I am a D'Elia and was astonished to find that you have D'Elia in your family as well! I loved seeing your journey. Thanks for sharing, cugino!
sounds like you had a great vaction in itily. Enjoying seeing me on screen? Beautiful person.. Bless
Chris, Loved the roots story. We have a greasy pole climb every Labor day weekend at St. Roccos church in Cleveland ohio. We just celebrated the 100 th. anniversary this year of the festival. Nice to see there are other Italians keeping up the tradition of the pole climb. If you are free next Labor day come on up and enjoy the feast.
