It's a fearful thing, but I admit I have become a comfort creature, I like my surroundings, coffee done a certain way, pecking away at the puter, taking dogs on an outing and all.

We are traveling to Sicily in August. We plan to visit Palazzo Adriano and Caccamo, where my grandfather and grandmother are from, respectively. Any information you can share relative to those you visited for birth records would be greatly appreciated. I would like to contact them before arriving, but have had not luck determining a website, or emails, only phone numbers. Many thanks in advance. Grazie! Kathy
