This is a photo of your great-great grandfather and his son, Benjamino (CICI), and his daughters, Antonina & Matilda. I think I have that right. Taken on the terrace, second floor, of the home in Balvano. If your mother does not have it, she might like to. I have send a scan in my package, which I am mailing today.
Cici was the first of the Tirico Family to come to this country and he had a drug store in Montclair. If I have the generations correct, he would be Grandfather Tirico's older brother.

The redt are on their way...... Have a great party,

Love, Jeanette

P.S. Antonina...not right...close, but not right. Let me think about that for a while. I never met her. She died a couple of years prior to our fist trip to Italy. I was only 10,

Honestly..I am so excited. I am going thru photos and found a few taken in the back yard at Uncle Arthur's house the morning of your parents' wedding! I am also sending photos of Nonna and the rest of the troup. I've picked out a few of my very favorite recipes, too. I'll get this to you shortly.
Love, Jeanette
P.S. Remember the video you guys had made from the movies my father took at your folks' wedding? That would be fun to show, if you are having a party.....
