Relationship Notes

Nick and Letizia (nee Scotti) Muro left Agropoli in Italy to settle in Wilmerding, Pennsylvania. Five of their six children survived childhood and were alive at the time of Letizia’s passing in early 1921.  With 5 small children, aged roughly from 3 through 10 years of age, Nick had to make a decision as to how to raise his children and take the next step forward in his life.

Nick Muro was:
*Sammy’s maternal Grandfather.
*EmilyAnn’s Great-Grandfather on her maternal line.

41e-Baby Lingle is coming February 2017!

There was a very happy development in the extended family that I learned about during Christmas break.

About a week before Christmas I got this photo greeting by snail mail from Uncle Sammy, Aunt Kathie, her son Michael and daughter-in-law Katy.  I love getting holiday   The photo for this card is from Michael and Katy’s wedding I attended in Baltimore in June 2016.

A few days later I got another photo greeting card from Michael and Katy.  The Lingle family is growing.  This holiday card from Michael, Katy and Baby Lingle was delightful to receive.  What a good time to share the news, at Christmas!  Baby is due some time in February 2017.

We’re very happy for Michael and Katy and look forward to Baby’s arrival.
