I have been researching my family story since 1986 that began from conversations with my Dad about his voyage from Italy 50 years earlier. I got curious about all the "who, when's, where's and how's" after that and would interview my two Grandmothers about everything they could remember. With the 100th Anniversary celebrations commemorating the Statue of Liberty and the Ellis Island immigration station, it was the beginning of a life-long quest to gather information, photographs, and stories about everyone that came before me. My work is in honor of all their memories.
