Children of Rose DeMartini

My grandmother's father (John DeMartini) was one of 8 children born to Augustino DeMartini and his wife, Celestina Cereghino in Martinez, California in the late 1800's.

John's sister Rose's family is the subject of this writing. A few years back, I had the priviledge of running across the Great Grand-daughter of Rose Ann DeMartini, when our paths crossed while researching the same family. Annie is her name, and she helped me piece in the missing parts of my genealogy, and I, in return, did the same for her. I remember Annie saying that her mom remembered my grandparents (Tom and Mildred) from years before, and that she was even close with the family of Ray DeMartini (who I often visited when I was little) who lived over on Patio Drive in Campbell years back. However, neither of us believe that our paths in life have ever crossed before our mutual genealogical research.

Rose Ann DeMartini married a man by the name of Antone Paul Cantell on February 28, 1904 in San Jose, California. Together they had 6 children, one of which was Gertrude Agnes Cantell.

The following picture is of Gertude (Rose DeMartini's daughter) from Cousin Annie's collection. The date would be the early to mid 1920's.
