A relatively minor update as we continue the work going through the Sassano archives to find marriages and families involving residents of Monte San Giacomo. We’re currently up to the year 1788!
Even so we want to keep the project moving forward and so we worked on the ancestors of 2 recent site members which took us to Chicago for the decendents of Vincenzo Policastro & Rosa Navatta whose descendants ultimately changed their surname to ‘Polcaster’; and to Brooklyn where we traced the descendants of Gaetano Lisa and Rosa Lisa.
This update includes 135 people and 220 images.
Also, we’ve noticed that the vitual Monte San Giacomo cemetery website is finally operational again, and we’ll be coordinating that data (and images soon).
