Thanks so much for this info!!! I would love to see this pic of poppa and his siblings that you mention you have a copy of. Would I be able to get a copy of this please?
I was just with Aunty Pene today and she will be with us this weekend also along with Poppa Carlos other daughter Marylyn (Mal). So will be good to chat and catch up with them. My mother is Lynette (Lyn) Carlo's oldest daughter. I'm just looking into the ancestry so any help would be great!
