Family tree search

I can't almost believe I didn't blog since november! 2011 has really been a bad year for me, we had some deaths in the family, lots of stress and problems and honestly it's been really tough for me.
I really do not understand what is happenning. Some major changes have been going on in my private life too, at times the totally unexpected happens and when it does, it hits with the force of a cyclone. Then it doesn't matter if one is prepared or not, changes do come and we need to accept them and just make the best out of any new situation. Sometimes it is really hard to let go of the past, but it has to be done, especially when there is something better, much better, at the horizon, inshAllah.
Despite all this distress I am doing ok.
I recently started to be interested again in the story of my uknown family from Procida...I want to find out if I have some distant cousins/relatives still living there. I want to know why my greatgrampa never kept in touch with his relatives when he moved to the North of Italy, from the beautiful island of Procida in the Gulf of Naples.
My father doesn't know anything about his grandparents either. Why was my granpa always so silent? What really happenned? Did my greatgrampa leave Procida only for work or has something pushed him away?
I just found a girl on FB who shares the same family name as me, I emailed her some details about my ancestors...I wonder if that would ring a bell for her? Who knows, maybe we could be cousins?
I will keep you updated with this one.










I really wanna travel to Procida in the summer and go see the place of origin of part of my family! It looks so beautiful!
I just watched "The Talented Mr. Ripley" again the other night, which was filmed there and actually is one of my favorite movies.
Oh I cannot stop thinking about Procida!
