| Left: Innocenza Napoli (called Zenna), probably born before or around 1900. I was lucky to meet her once in the early 80's but too young to think to ask the right questions. Right: My grandmother, Giuseppa Napoli, or as I called her, Nonna Pina, born June 11, 1914. She was half-sister to Zenna, but as I have explained before, she carried the surname of her mother's legal husband. There was no divorce in those days, so my great-grandparents managed to get the legal husband to claim the children (I believe they paid him). Her father was Pasquale Ursino. Both sisters were born and lived in Catania, Sicily. |
