Anyway, I thought I should point out the fact that names and birthplace aren't always (or exclusively) indicators of one's heritage. Many people have these names and don't have one drop of blood in relation to the national heritage attributed to this name.

good luck to you, Kee
well, what an eye opener, so to get the real scoop we need to put aside all this geneology stuff and instead be getting dna samplers from our relatives, that's a lot of exhuming and urn opening
btw, i am sure i've no Italian blood - i speak in monotone with hands dangling at my side
