Note: Bill and Leita, My father, Paul A. Pizzo, (who'll turn 82 in June) was born in Contessa Entellina in 1920. He, his two brothers and mother came to the US in the early 20's to meet my grandfather whom arrived earlier to set up a business. Within the last few years, cousins that live in California have put together a pretty extensive genealogy that traces our family back for generations. Included are names of many of the families I recognize from growing up in New Orleans. We've donated a copy of the chart to The American Italian Museum and Library. I'm very interested in viewing your website as described in the "Italian American Digest" but the address was unclear. Can you please forward the address....it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, P. J. Pizzo pjpiz@aol.com
