OKay:

Teresa Walker b. 1928 in Brooklyn, NY
--> Mother was Florence Louisa (married multiple times to Walker, Vella, and lastly Bulavage) b. 1904 Brooklyn, NY d. 1958 Long Island, NY.
-----> Mother Virgina Cati (or Coti?) likely b. 1879 likely in Italy. Died abt. 1941, Brooklyn.
-----> Father (Husband of Virginia) Giovani Luisi. Most well known as "Papa Louie." B. abt 1876 likely in Italy *Suspect Ganni?).

It is said that Giovani and Virgina has 20 to 23 children, some dying at birth, others in a fire in the yard, others well into a very old age. However, when Giovani died, the rumor is that the men especially fought over the estate and it caused a split which caused the multiple spellings of the last name - various brothers picking a different spelling to break off from the family.

Needless to say - a researching nightmare. I do not have immigration information, death information, solid birth information, or anything after Giovani and Virgina. A

ANY information would be helpful. I do have a list of names of what many of the children's names were if that will help.
