My last name is Pepe. I live in San Antonio and I am the founder of San Antonio Walks; a historical walking tour company. When giving tours, we mention the Gissi home as an example the earliest of constuction styles to still be found here and in Texas for that matter. However, here in San Antonio, they spell the first name Cirilus, rather than Cerilus. Is "Ce" more correct.

Trying to find information on my grandfather who was born in Campotosta, italy in 1895. He came to the usa at the age of 18. His name was Mariano Deangelis he had a brother who we knew as benny but i'm sure there is an italian version of that name. We do not know his parents names but would appreciate anyone who would have any leads that may help us find living relatives in campotosta. Planning a trip in mid august 2011.
