Any idea of when it was taken? maybe 1880's, or 1890's This is the information that went along with the picture. (Did you notice his right hand? I can't figure out what's the matter with it.): Domenico DiNezzo born June 1844, Frosolone, Italy. Died February 9, 1921, Cranston, RI. Shown with his wife Ingornata DiMella born February 1856, Frosolone, Italy, died August 20, 1918, Providence, RI. They were married in Frosolone, Italy in 1876. Domenico emigrated to America around 1882/3. Ingornata, son Phillipe, and daughters Annie and Louise followed in 1883. Ships and ports of entry for this family remain unknown. The family initially settled in Torrington, CT but eventually settled in Providence, RI. While in Torrington, the DiNezzos had three more children; Frank born June 1885, Margaret born October 1891 and Minnie born November 1895. Domenico and Ingornata are interred in Saint Anne's Catholic Cemetery, Cranston, RI. Some additional information is - Louise, who was born in Frosolone, Italy, is JXM's great grandmother. She married a man named Mancini and they had 4 children, one of them, Susan, is JXM's grandmother. JXM's grandmother was around 9 YO when when her uncle burst into the house while they were all at the dinner table and shot Louise's husband, Mancini. Why that happened, no one knows and anyone who would know has passed on. JXM's dad doesn't remember too many of the details. Louise also either married a man named William Kelley or had an affair with him, which produced a male child. He was estranged from the family for years. His son became a Master Chief in the Navy and we think he lives in Florida. Louise subsequently married a man named Walter Ide. I met them when they were in their late 80s or early 90s. They lived on a farm in North Scituate, Rhode Island and still pumped water into the kitchen sink. She was all of 4'11" and what a cook! They raised all their own vegetables and had an orchard. Neither of her 2 sons married and continued to live with Louise and Walt. Both hunted and provided the meat for the household. One of the sons built a 50' sailboat in the backyard. I saw it when he was almost finished with it. He planned to sail it to the Caribbean but didn't want to leave his mother because she was in failing health. He eventually launched it in Narragansett Bay but never got to sail it in blue water like he had planned for so long. Most of JXM's relatives on his dad's side lived into their 80s and 90s.
