Hi Dana, thanks for replying. I haven't read the book yet, will be doing so soon. We are going away and I plan on reading it then. Wow, how neat about your relatives. We are from Gagliano, Italy not Campobasso as you mentioned your great-grandfather is from. My dad's name is Mario Antonio, his father was Leonardo and his grandfather was Angelo. My dad has passed but my mom doesn't recognize Arturo Vacca name. I'm sure at some time if we go back there was a connection, with such small towns over in Italy at the time, they may have moved from one town to another. Oh well, you never know in this world who we will meet up with. Nice to correspond with you and I'll keep in touch once I've read the book. If you are ever in Hamilton, Ontario let me know.
Thank you for your reply! Yes, we probably are related if you trace back enough! Probably somehow through my great-grandfather, Dominic-angelo, as the two areas in Italy are close enough to one another! I remember my great-grandfather well. He lived with us until I was in my late teens. I have a friend in Hamilton, actually! Aileen and Ian Johnson; good friends I met when I lived in Ocala, Florida! They moved back to Hamilton in 2013. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy Freedom Calling and would love to know your thoughts when you finish it! Have a wonderful vacation and hope to chat again soon!
