Natale (or Nick) married my grandmother's aunt Katherine in the early 1900's (second marriage for her as well). They had two daughters before Kate died. Both Kate & Nick are buried in the Eureka City Cemetery in Utah. I have been searching for the daughters, Catherine & Alba, who moved to live with Nick's sister in California. I have an interesting picture of Nick if interested.

He is my Grandfather. I would love to see the photo. That would be amazing for me!!
