Carmela, Louis, Teresa (known as Tressa), John, Joseph, another son who we believe may have been called Michael, and another sister, Eleanor who stayed behind in Italy when Carmela's mother brought the family to Philadelphia. We also know that Carmela lived at 828 Marriott Street!!!!!!!<br><br>What I know of Louise is that she married Joseph Rago and had the following children: Romeo, Alfred, Louise and another child (we do not know the name). I'm not sure where I got the name of Michael but in one of my notes it mentions that he lived at the house on Marriott Street. We have two addresses: 828 and 829 Marriott. <br><br>I think we may have something here.
