Photo received from Diana Palmieri Archer, Sep 2009: "a photo of a "Frank Di Vecchio, Vince Gargaro, Tony Palmieri (Angela's cousin) , Roma and Mary (Vera Nardelli) kids". I know that Vince is the man with the piano accordian, I assume Tony is the man with his arm around the child, which leaves Frank to be the one standing at left. Thought you might be interested in that."
Email from Diana Archer, Sep 2009: "Now FRANK DE VECCHIO FIRST WIFE DIED, they had 2 girls and a boy, then Frank married Concetta D'Ettore, who lost her husband, as Frank lost his wife, these two got together, Concetta had to children two Sam and Roma, lived broken hill then they moved to Melbourne.

Note: Email from Mary Jo Colian, Apr 2007: "Alfredo came to America before Flora did and I dont have any records of him coming to America. I only know that he was settled in Blythedale Pennsylvania in 1929. Flora came to America in 1929. She emigrated from San Pietro is what the records say. They changed their last name to Colian between 1930's-1940's. Alfredo and Flora are my great-grandparents. My grandparents seem to think that Juisepna Colaianni tried to come to America but made it as far as Australia. They said she wasn't allowed to come to America because she had TB."

Birth reported by my great-granduncle, Aminto Frazzini, 36y.

1930 census, Elizabeth, Allegheny, PA, listed as Alfred, 37y, first married at 35, imm 1900, naturalized.

WWII Draft Registration, 45y, DOB 14 Aug 1896, 116 Penn Ave, Cresson, Cambria, PA, Contact - Mrs. Flora Colian, same address.

Posting by biff83 on ItalianGenealogy.com: "If Alfredo immigrated about 1900, he could have returned to Italy to marry Flora, then returned to the US which would mean there should be two ship manifests for him, one circa 1900 and one circa 1928. The other possibility is that they were married by proxy."

Dates from Tombstone.

email from grandson, Amico Colaianni, Feb 2011: "My grand father was Amico Colaianni and his NNRY application shows that he applied for a job as a Coach Cleaner on July 15,1915. It appears that he worked for them before, in 1912. I always knew that he lived in Ely, NV when he came to this country since My aunt Alice was born there. I also knew that he went back to SPA and brought my grandmother, Assunta to be with him in Ely. I also found his name as being registered for the WWI Draft as being from SPA. What a find! I'm not sure as to when he left Ely to come to the Pittsburgh, Pa. area. I know that he lived in McKeesport, Pa. as a carpenter building the J&L steel mill there and went to Aliquippa, Pa to build the J&L plant there. In 1925, he brought my father, Dino and his brother Torquato and my aunt Madeline to the USA. My Grandfather and Father both worked in J&L after the plant was built. I and my Brother Dean were both born in Aliquippa. My Brother Dean now lives in Youngstown, Ohio and I live in Mooresville, NC."
