I love being my families "historian" - but my extended family has no idea some of the great family history we have and some of the amazing stories that are part of our genealogy. So I have created this blog to post some of the information I have come across that may be of interest to all of the branches of my family tree.
So my family tree covers the family trees of my parents. My mother's family are the ancestors of the Imprescia/Carbone families. This is my true Italian side of my heritage, many of these grandparents immigrated to the United States during the very early 1900's from Pietraperzia Sicily and Lapio near Naples Italy.
My father's side are the ancestors of the Cook/Ouellette family. Since my father was adopted by Thomas Caravella when he married my grandmother Ruth Ouellette my last name is Caravella, but I have no blood relation to Thomas Caravella. This side of the family is extremely rich in US and Canadian history since the Cook family dates back to 1700's in Massachusetts and the Ouellette family dates back to the first settlers of Quebec in the 1600's.
My goal is to post stories from all of these branches of the tree as I catalogue all off the boxes of information I have gathered over the last 25 years of researching my family tree.
