I sent the emails from my cousin with the family pictures to caryn today.
nice to hear that all is well there.
This is an article from the newspaper that tells about Uncle Gene's wife marring great uncle Jack after he was reported killed in action.
Strange things happen in life, My grandmother, never spoke to her brother after that, she said he should have known better then to marry Ann without telling the family first. However Uncle Gene talked to him, he said that he was reported killed in action so no one was at fault.
It is strange the memories that looking up your geneology bring back.
I never could figure out why I didn't know when my great grandfather Marshall died , I could remember him living with us in the house on Clark street. I can remember Grandma telling us he had to go live at a hospital because she couldn't keep track of him any more. That had to be about 1944-45, because she bought the house with the money from uncle genes GI insurance ,we moved in the day President Roosevelt died. He did not live with us when uncle gene came home 1945-46. He died in 1948, just about the time we moved to new york with mama & leo. There was alot of things going on at that time.
Uncle Jim came home and they wouldn't rent to people with children, so the family built a two car garage in the back of grandma's house and Uncle Jim & Aunt Pearl and their two sons moved in to it.
It was like a little cottage with a kit and bath area. After they got settled Uncle Jack and Aunt Lucille lived in it (I was in New York by that time). Then when Aunt Jeanette and Uncle Don got married they lived in it until They bought a house when Bobby was on the way.
If you send me the name of your husbands with the birthdate, place, parents same info. and your children, I will put them on the family tree at ancestory.com runions/vittorio.
I am going to start more on your father side maybe tonight. I realy do not have a vittorio contact.
I am tring to figure out how to put my pictures in a folder on my computer so I can find them. They are on there somewhere.

This is really neat to find out so much about the family history. Sounds like you are having fun with it.
*hugs*
Interesting family history. I can't remember. Did she shoose Uncle Jean then or stay with hubby number two?
She went back to Uncle Gene and they had a daughter Bobbie Louise, born befor we moved to NY. Not long after they got back together.
Later she took Bobbie Louise and ran away with someone else to Cal. after we went to NY. She wouldn't let Uncle Gene see her or talk to her and returned all cards and gifts sent to her.
Then when one day (when Bobbie was about 21) Uncle Gene got a call from her and they reconnected. Do you know he had saved every returned card and gift unopened.
Good for him!
He, was my favorite Uncle befor the war and someone I didn't know after the war. I remember him giving me a "? valmar bar (chocolate cup like bar filled with marshmello) and making chocolate malts for us, things he didn't eat after the war.
HOW EVER I STILL DO ONE OF MY MAIN VICE'S
Now thisis a cool subject for your blog! I love all the family history stuff. I'll send you Gary's family stuff. He was born in 1955 May 16th in England. The Guilliams name is French. His mother's amiden name is Clay (hence Clay Jackson). He had Guilliams family in the same Virginia town as Birdwell's, I remember him talking to Uncle Jimmy about it at Mamo's funeral. WOW we could be cousins.
His Dad is James Herold Guilliams.
I'll send more on the Toy side.
