Anne's Maternal Grandfather was my Paternal Great Grandmothers Brother from Alia, Sicily. So made us cousins. Never met her, but she emailed me some time ago trying to be of help in my ancestral search and through her I was able to get a couple of wonderful photos of my Great Sicilian Grandparents whom otherwise I would have never known what they looked like. My Sincere Condolences to her Children & their families. J
