Francesco, I'm glad you like the video. It was wonderful meeting such an awesome cousin as you! I look forward to meeting your father and sister when I return this summer. Love, Richard.

Nice to have another family across the ocean! The beautiful architecture nicely captured, too. 5*****

Wow Rich, this video was real impressive. I can imagine how thrilling that experience was. It's so cool seeing how happy your family looked, as well as them commenting here afterward. Give me a call or email sometime and tell me more!

Saluti dagli Alaimo,

Hi Richard,This video was so moving. I just loved it! I am Italian and Sicilian myself and very interested in finding my family in Palermo as well. I think you made a beautiful film. I can't believe you out so much abou your family and they moved her so long ago. My family moved here in the 1920's. My mother is first generation Italian American. I know it will not be difficult to find my family there. You have given me much inspiration and hope. Thank you.
