Uncle Ange,
Out of all the pages I never seem to come to is the message board. Reading all of these
nice messages from our Coniglio's and ones from all over the world, I must say for them to
somehow find the site and recognize what a wonderful one it is to visit truly shows what a
GREAT job you do to preserve our heritage.
Thank you for all you do and for updating Frankie's and Gabrielle's pages.
We Love You!!!

Hey uncle Ange,
How are you? Thank you for sending me all the info on the family web-site.
I love showing and telling Marianne all about our
family and family history. We are desperately trying to make it up to the
picnic this year. It has been a while since I have attended but it has been really hectic
the last three/four years, with finishing up baseball, school, and now trying to earn some
vacation time at work Anyway, I am attaching a picture of Marianne
and my new house.
We purchased the house two weeks ago and are really excited about it. Looks like we will
be calling Olive Branch, MS our home. Anyway, tell everyone I said hello and I
miss and love them sooo much. By the way, I have a close buddy playing baseball for the
Buffalo Bisons. We grew up playing ball together and we always new that he would be
the one to make it big. His name is Jason Anderson and he went through the New York
Yankee minor league system before making his debut in the majors two years ago. Last
year he was traded to the New York Mets before getting traded to the Cleveland Indian
organization this year. Anyway, talk to you later.

Ciao!
I learned about the website by meeting Tony Coniglio in Toronto at
the Annual Conference of the Council on Foundations last week. My husband's paternal
grandfather came from Sicily, and settled in Oswego, NY. They are now in and around
the Syracuse area. My husband's grandfather was Giacomo Coniglio, and he had eight
children: Vincent, Sebastian, Joseph, Stephen, Salvatore, Lucy, Phyllis and Rose.
Sebastian lives in Fulton, NY; Salvatore (Sam), my husband's dad, lives in Syracuse.
Aunts Lucy and Phyllis live in Baldwinsville, NY. Giacomo Coniglio ran a grocery
store and bakery (bread) in Syracuse. We have a story of Grandpa Coniglio's life
that is written in Sicilian dialect...are there any translators out there?? It was fun to
meet Tony and see all the wonderful pictures on the website...especially all the
rabbits! Take good care and thanks again.

Uncle Angelo,
Just want to thank you for all the time and effort you have taken in making our family
website such a wonderful place to visit. Although I am sure there are a lot more memories
here for some than me, I so enjoy coming here to read the history of our family and see
the new pictures.
I am looking forward to the picnic again this year, and spending some time on the beach.
Love you all,
Michele (Shelly)

Hi my name is Frank Coniglio and I
live in NYC. I am a first generation Italian American. My parents
came from Sicily in the 1950s. They are from a small town named Canicatti.
Unfortunately my grandfather died during WWII and my father does not know how
many relatives he really has. Any way it is nice to know that there are a lot
of Coniglio's out there who are proud of their Italian heritage.
I have a 9 month old son who is named Angelo after my dad. I hope I can instill some of my
Italian upbringing in him.
Bye...... Frank Coniglio

Complimenti per il sito!
Io sono Calcedonio Vaccari e ho 21 anni. Vivo a Serradifalco. Sono pronipote di quel segretario delegato che registrò la
nascita di Gaetano Vincenzo Coniglio come avete riportato nel sito. Pasquale
Vaccari era il padre di mio nonno Calcedonio.
Voglio complimentarmi per il sito creato e per le notizie inserite su Serradifalco, il nostro amato paese. Anche io mi sto interessando di ricercare documenti storici che mi facciano sapere di più sulla mia famiglia che ha sempre vissuto a Serradifalco.
Io non so se avete ancora parenti a Serradifalco ma apprendo dal sito che la vostra famiglia è emigrata negli USA ma del resto parecchie famiglie serradifalchesi. Mi piacerebbe scambiare con voi foto antiche e notizie storiche.
Nella speranza che questa mail vi arrivi e che qualcuno di voi sappia ancora leggere
l'italiano, la lingua dei vostri padri e nella speranza che mi rispondiate vi invio
cordiali saluti e vi faccio i miei migliori auguri.
Calcedonio Vaccari
Congratulations on the web site!
I am Calcedonio Vaccari and I am 21 years old. I live in Serradifalco. I am the great-grandson of the delegated secretary who recorded the birth of Gaetano Vincenzo Coniglio, as you reported on the website. Pasquale Vaccari was the father of my grandfather Calcedonio. I want to compliment you on the site you created and for the news you included about Serradifalco, our beloved village. Also, I am interested in searching historical documents so I may know more about my own family that has always lived in Serradifalco.I do not know if you still have relatives in Serradifalco, but I learned from the site that your family emigrated to the USA from several Serradifalchese families. I ask that you exchange photos and historical information with me.
In the hope that you receive this mail, and that one of you still reads Italian, the language of your fathers, and that you answer me, I send you cordial greetings and give you my best wishes.

Perchè inserite la mail senza chiedere il
permesso? No che io sia contrario a quello che fate ma vi sembra giusto inserire il mio
indirizzo e-mail ad uso a abuso di chiunque ne venga a conoscenza tramite il vostro
guestbook? Prego gentilmente il Gentilissimo Sig. Coniglio di far in modo di eliminare il
mio indirizzo. Nella speranza che questa mia richiesta non venga fraintesa e che ci si
continui a scrivere, invio un caloroso saluto da Serradifalco.
From Unknown:
Why did you include my e-address without permission?
I'm not against your work, but it seems wrong to use my e-mail when anyone using your
guestbook can use it. I pray the gentleman Mr. Coniglio to find a way to eliminate
my e-address. In the hope that you don't misinterpret this request, and that you
continue to write, I send a warm salute from Serradifalco.
TO THE AUTHOR OF THE ABOVE: Please e-mail me at nospam.ConiglioFamily@aol.com

My mother is Antonina Coniglio (daughter of Antonio, and Giuseppina Verdone). Paolo and Raimondo Coniglio are my uncles, but they are not sons of Giuseppe, but of Antonio and Antonina Landolino. Raimondo Coniglio and his family still live in Serradifalco (Sicily). Paolo is there no more, he died. And we are in Belgium.

Fantastic website Ange - love it all. Your hard work and dedication come shining through.
My name is Gloria Raver and I am a greatgranddaughter of Giuseppa Callari
and Antonio Greco. They married in Serradifalco, immigrating first to Pittston, PA
and then to Rochester, NY. Please feel free to contact me.
[Thank
you for the message! You are the first descendant of my great-great aunt Maria di
Giugno to contact me. She married Antonio Callari and was the sister of my
great-grandmother Angela di Giugno. Maria and Angela were daughters of my
great-great-grandparents Leonardo di Giugno and Michela Vella, on my mother's side.
According to that, your grandparents were my third cousins, and you and
I are "third cousins, twice removed". You can see the di Giugno line
at GenCirclescom.]
Viewing your site, I have been able to see the immeasurable love for our village, which gives me immense pleasure, notwithstanding the fact that many years have passed since your parents arrived in America.
With sincere esteem, Salvatore Luigi AvarelloUntil now I had not ever seen this site, even though I have searched for the word Serradifalco many times with search engines. That means that now you have greater visibility or have become important. ; -) I admire and am pleased with your work to set up the site and with your pride of origin in Serradifalco. Good work, indeed, and greetings from the village. Ciao.

Beloved Coniglio family:
I want to
compliment all of you for the creation of the web site, rich with
news and edited meticulously. Viewing it and vicariously following
the life of my grandfather
Giuseppe Coniglio
(brother of
Gaetano)
from his entry point in America to his eventual return to Italy, it
is amazing and moving to see documents of the era regarding
the list of passengers of
those ships (that for many represented hope of a better life).
I am called Peter
Latona and I am the eldest son of Gino (Luigi) Latona and Antonia
Coniglio (daughter of Giuseppe Coniglio and Anna Fazio, sister of
Angelo, Gaetano, Carmela, Maria, Giuseppina, Rose, Giovanni, and
Raimondo); I was born on 13 October 1964 in Serradifalco, and live
in Caltanissetta since 1988.
I have 2 sisters,
Cinzia Maria of 42 years and Monica of 34; and I have also 2
daughters Sandra of 21 years and Simona of 17.
A warm embrace from
your far-away cousin. ~ Pietro Latona
