Roots in Italy

After most of the family left we went with Rick and Marilyn in search of her ancestoral roots. Cirella (the town where Marilyn's granfather was from) is in the Calabria, up in the mountains. We followed a narrow and worn out road acrossed the tops of the mountains into the little city of Cirella. There we were met by many of Marilyn's relatives. It was so fun to be with them all!
Rick also has ties to Italy. The last name Toronto was originally spelled Taranto.







This is a view looking down from the mountains at Cirella.
Here we are in the Cirella cemetary recording information about Marilyn's family. Marilyn (green coat, cousin Giuseppe, Diane, Rick). A wonderful experience.
