I was doing research on the name Iadicicco, my grandfather was Simmaco Iadicicco, and in doing so came across the
Ellis Island web site. I found some very interesting immigrant
documentation regarding possible distant relatives that travelled to New York from Naples around the turn of the century. What an amazing site! They have the original ship manifest, which includes details of how much money they were carrying, their final address in New York, what skills (calling) they had, and strangely, if they were an Anarchist (isn't everyone?). There are even pictures of the boats they journeyed in.
Closer to home, I found some of our relatives listed on
Ancestry's website.
Rachael, Sarah and my grandfather Simmaco are all listed. Also, there appears to be some people looking for other Iadiciccos on the
message boards.

So it's official, we're expecting a
baby! Janet is already getting fat and has started whinging. As a loving and supportive husband I've given up watching Premiership football on TV.
At the moment, the current due date is Novemeber 3rd - I've got a book running (don't tell the wife), so if you want in, drop me a line ;-).

Just arrived back from Florida, here are the
photos.
Check out news buzz:
The
UK's 2005 General Election is coming up. I've applied for a proxy vote, so my mum is going to vote for me (as I'm currently working in the States). I took a
test and found that I should vote Liberal Democrat. I've never voted LibDem, always Labour. What should I do?
