email from Angela Giobbi, Jul 2010: "I found a note which my Auntie Julia gave me, I do not know if it is correct, --- He [Pasquale] was born 1876 in Sant'Eufemia. Died in Salt Lake City 1955. His father was known as Pietro Palmieri and mother Filomena Cerone."

email from Tom Gargaro, Jul 2010: "My Grandmother's father was Vincenzo, and his siblings were Mariucci, Vitantonio, Eufemia, and Pasquale. Pasquale married a Eufemia Palmieri and I am almost certain that this is your family's Eufemia, given that my Grandmother had mentioned repeatedly that this uncle of hers married a first cousin and that they ended up in Utah. This makes me believe that Pasquale's father, Pietro, and your Eufemia's father, Carmine, are brothers and that they are both the sons of Germano and Concetta."

1950 article in the Pittsburgh Press: Family Re-united after 40 years. Angelo came to the US at the age of 15y.
email from Tom Gargaro, Oct 2009: "Yes, my grandfather ( Angelo Santo Gargaro) was Vincenzo's oldest brother. I can share a little story about them, hopefully not boring all of you. Angelo was born in St. Eufemia in 1893. He emmigrated to the USA in 1909 at age 16. His brother Vincenzo was born in 1910, thus my grandfather had left Italy before Vincenzo was born. As all of their brothers and sisters were brought to the USA by their father Isadore (typically one every several years), there came a time after 1921 when all of Vincenzo's siblings had left Italy. Being only 11, Uncle Vincenzo stayed in Italy until both of his parents had died (1941). At this time, he wanted desperately to come to the States to be with all of his brothers and sisters, but was refused due to political issues between Italy and the USA. He and Julie decided to move to Australia instead, where many folks from St. Eufemia had already relocated. Remember, this was 1941, Vincenzo was 31 years old and still had never met his oldest brother Angelo. As a side note, I can remember my Aunt Julie (as we all called her) relating that once she left St. Eufemia for Australia, it took Uncle Vince another year to get through the administrative obstacles in order to join his wife in Melbourne.
Finally, in 1958 (I think), Vincenzo and Juliet arranged a vacation to America, where he met for the first time his brother. Angelo was 65 years old, and Vincenzo was 48. The local newspaper, the McKees Rocks Gazette, ran a front page article on this happy reunion, including a picture of the two brothers. Vince was so touched by being near all of his siblings, he convinced Juliet to say, which they did until 1970., when they returned permanently to Melbourne to be with Juliet's family. Just a cool, but true, story."
