Note: Family tree of Bob Ricci, Dec 2008, filename: Michele Ricci 6GPC.pdf: "Amico Floro Ricci was one of my paternal grandfather's brothers who was in Dawson prior to relocating to Toledo, Ohio. My parents took our family there to visit routinely during my childhood. Amico met Luigi Mancini, AngiolinaŁus father who was a tailor, when he visited his family and friends from Giulianova in the late 1800Łus-early 1900Łus. This is how the marriage of Michele and Angiolina was arranged initially and Michele returned in 1921 to be married in San Pietro e Paolo in SPA and also recorded in Giulianova at the municipio. Marriage certificates exist from both locales verifying this fact. Amico was also known as ŁSAmosŁT and they had two children, Natalie and Alvin."
