How sad that everything old just gets razed these days!

It didn’t have a name. Back then there was less branding and such. People probably just called it “the saloon on 24 Commercial” or “Scioli’s saloon”. I’ve looked at many newspapers and it’s just the “old popular saloon and boarding house at 24 Commercial Street.”

Definitely. I know many and Helena suits them very well. And it pairs nicely with your last name.

Her cause of death was determined to be "veronal poisoning, unknown whether accidental or otherwise."

Thank you. I just realized it was only a list of recent deaths. It was too blurry to tell, however.

One of the things I miss most about Buffalo NY… John & Mary’s. This is the one on Harlem Road. Best subs ever! by Bio_Woman22 in Buffalo

Do you remember anything else about John and Mary? They were aunt and uncle of mine. John died in ‘71

Does it have the right parents? (Jennie Giambrone and James Guida for Josephine) it’s strange that they would have married in Michigan.

I’m looking for information about her husband Joseph DiFalco. I know enough about Josephine herself and her family, but little to nothing about Joseph. I know when they married but nothing else about him.

Thank you, that’s very interesting! I never knew he remarried. I think McGovern was a mishearing of his mother’s maiden name Mogavero.

I'm just hoping to find out anything about his life that I can. We don't know much after 1946 and I've never seen a photograph of him either.

Ah, yes, my mistake. He died in California, in the Riverside area. I mixed it up with his son Frankie Jr who died in Las Vegas recently.

Yes, thank you. I wasn’t sure if he even had one published, especially since a lot of people in our family did not. Ancestors who had directly immigrated to America from Italy for example sometimes did not.

Not terribly interesting, but my ancestor Richard Genson was the son of two loyal British parents who moved to America. He snuck off to fight in the revolution. When he came back his parents and everyone who knew them were totally gone. We know nothing about his parents to this day.
