the current Granellis in Macclesfield are my cousins...Angelo was my grandfather's brother...they were definitely from Santa Maria Del Taro...Angelo married Veronica Corrota...they had two children, Madeline and Edward.... Madeline married Guido Devoti and they had five children...Angelo's brother, Ernest Edward, my grandgfather, left the family at age 15 and immigrated to the United States through Ellis Island in New York Harbor...however his entrance has him at the age 20/21...it is possible he worked a few years to earn passage over...he settled in Stamford CT and married my grandmother, who happened to have the same last name, Lyda Granelli...they had three children...my father was named Edward Ernest Granelli....their last sibling is still alive and still communicates with the Granellis in Macclesfield...my brother and I have just started researching...we have never met our cousins in England....fascinating....my grandfather owned a grocery store but ice cream was always important..to this day we have it almost every night!!
