Ellen-once our parents are gone there’s a greater imperative to dig at this. I hope you get there too! Or you and Mark can embark on that journey of finding your roots in the old “sod” as he says!
It’s amazing how much you have learned and been there from your family in Italy. I have been to Italy and loved it there. I wish I knew more about my family from Germany. You are amazing and thank you for including your travels. Love ❤️
I love these stories of how you're digging into your roots. Chicago is the Polish hub. When I would go to Polish restaurants/delis the employees would always start speaking to me in Polish, I didn't even open my mouth. As one person said "you have the map of Poland written all over your face." Lol
Loved it! “ All Italians have a connection to Ohio.” Mark says I can walk into any room and I’ll find the Italian everytime. An app for that would be nice too.” That yearning for family, affiliation, belonging is universal, I think. Watch the series Pachinko,” and you will see these desires when the elderly Korean woman returns home.

Brava! I admire how you are entrenched in finding these meaningful connections! I hope I can someday do the same.
