Marchese Genealogy Find

We just found out some great stuff on Mike's genealogy! We are very excited. The information on his grandfather is not completely accurate at this time on the website (4 vi on the page), but we can now go back 5 generations! We emailed the webmaster of the sight and got a return call. So Mike got to talk to the grand niece of his great-grandfather tonight. She is 73, but looks 60 or 65 on the website. She was just wonderful to talk to. Here is a picture of the Marchese family crest.
















Here is a picture of Mike's Great Grandmother Maria for her 80th birthday. His Grandpa Joe is 3rd from the left in the back row.













We think it is pretty cool. Thought we would share our excitement!

WOW - that is big news! What a great find! Has he found any other members going back, or is he the only one?

So happy for you guys, I love the pictures!

Mom, if you can imagine, she has size 5 shoes. People are starting to say she is going to be taller than me, not that that is very difficult.

Jeralee, as far as we know, he is the only member. We are really excited about meeting some family though. Especially since he didn't know that side well at all.
