July 2020

It's been a while since I've posted anything. A lot has been going on in the world.

I think a lot about the upheaval going on in our world and equate it to that of our ancestors. 

I am still doing research, attempting to make new connections through Ancestry.com  matches. Last week I was able to link in with the tree of someone with the D'Onofrio and Martoccia surnames. It takes a lot of persistence to compile and study the siblings and in-laws to finally document true links. I'm always excited when I can make connections and see where they live.

On familysearch.org, I keep adding to the family tree. Many, many diverse surnames. It is common for young people to marry within their own clan or profession. It would be interesting to create a list of surnames with their professions. We know that many of our line married musicians, but sometimes they had an alternate line of work also.

As for the Sarli line, one lives in Rome, Italy (born in Potenza, Italy). Several live in Illinois. Another lives in Indiana, after moving from the Chicago area. One lives in El Paso, Texas, after moving from Connecticut. I have been delighted to speak with several on the phone, and most are Facebook friends.

I wish all of you the best! Let Freedom Ring!!!
