posted by Spencer E. Gray, Jr. on Tuesday, December 22, 1998

RI Quaker researchers. Does anyone know of an "Old Quaker Cemetary, 1752-1845" ? I found an old sign for this in an antique shop in Maine. Is it a Rhode Island cemetary? If so, please let me know. It doesn't seem proper to me to sell such a sign. It's like finding a G.A.R. marker in an antique shop...it's not where it belongs. Perhaps it can be returned to its rightful place. Merry Christmas! segrayjr@netquarters.net

FALINO, ROZZI posted by Italo FALINO on Saturday, December 26, 1998

I am looking for my relatives living in Providence or Providence County or Rhode Island State.My father Michelearcangelo FALINO born in Italy in 1870 2nd February had two sisters,Angelina and Carmela who emigrated to U.S.A. at the beginning of the century. The only clue I have is that perhaps Angelina FALINO was married to Mr. ROZZI and had two children William and Dorothy who are married and maybe the other sister married a cousin also called FALINO and had a son called Canio FALINO,who should be now 70 or 80.I remember also a cousin of mine Edmondo FALINO who was an Army Officer and in 1944 he was in Naples and was responsible for the hospitals of the Naples area and then he moved to Paris. These are the only clues I have about my relatives in Rhode Island and would like to be in touch with them and their children and grandchildren before dying. I hope you can help me. Thanking you in advance
