A small update

Hello all!

I have made a small change to this site. I have added a music player (so turn on your speakers), which you will find at the bottom of the site. I did my best to try and find music from not only my generation, but my ancestors as well. So, you will find music from the about 1905 on through the present day. You can click on any song on the list to hear it. Feel free to poke around and let me know if any of the music from the past brings back memories for you. If I have omitted a song that you remember fondly, please let me know and I will do my best to get it added for all of the other visitors to enjoy as well.

I can be reached via the comments section below this post as well as my e-mail address at bmc1069@gmail.com

I hope you enjoy it.


Sincerely,
Brandon

Old Family Photo of the Week (Updated)

I am starting a new feature on this site for two reasons. The first is that it serves as a stop gap between my posts on my research. The second reason is that I though some of you out there would like to see some of the old family photos that I have run across over the years.

The first photo I am posting is of in laws of my Great Great Aunt Theresa (Tessie) Incardona. Aunt Tessie married Gaetano (Thomas) Caito on November 7th, 1920 in San Jose, California. Now, Gaetano's mother was Agatha Aida Lazio. The Lazio's often intermarried with the Alioto's of San Francsico. That being the case, Aunt Tessie's husband Gaetano was 1st cousin to one Joseph Laurence Alioto who was the former Mayor of San Francisco.

The following picture is of Joseph Laurence Alioto's parents: Giuseppe Alioto (1886-1961) and his wife Domenica Mae Lazio (1893-1971).






The following photo is posted here by a request from my Cousin Fred. Cousin Fred was named after my great Uncle Fred who served in the Armed Forces with Cousin Fred's father. This photo is of my grandparents wedding on June 6th, 1942. The bride, is of course, my Grandmother Mildred (a.k.a. Pee Wee). To her right is my Grandfather Thomas. To her left is my Great Uncle Fred. The first young lady to my grandmother's right is her Maid of Honor, Anne, who happens to be Cousin Fred's mother. This photo is also used courtesy of Cousin Fred who was kind enough to e-mail me with a few pictures of my family for my collection.
