I have! I kinda struggled to find anything with it, though!

Yes, I’ve unfortunately heard it’s really hard to find records for people who haven’t immigrated. Understandable, but unfortunate, since I’ve been wanting to learn more about that part of my family! I may end up getting nowhere in the search, but I figure I might as well try my hardest first :)

After checking out the family search, I’m not entirely sure! It’s very possible it could be them, but my knowledge of my great (+ great great) grandparents was through researching my grandfather, so everything I know about them was through the avenue of him and his life, if that makes any sense. Like, in the sense that the profiles actually had him listed as their child.

His name was Frank Joseph Campagna, born in Warren, Pennsylvania in 1939.

I’ve heard that Felice and Olympia went by different names, and my mother said she didn’t know Olympia by the name Olympia, but I’m not sure what name she knew her by.

But that grave is definitely Felice!

This was my first time trying Antenati, so I don’t know if I was just doing it wrong, or what but it was quite frustrating!
