I have very little information on a very large family tree...I am the granddaughter of Martin and Noelle Hughes (paternal grandparents) and Nicholas and Winona Mele (maternal grandparents).
I know that my paternal grandfather, who passed not too long ago, was Irish, a former Marine and fathered 11 children, my father, Michael Patrick, is the oldest. My paternal grandmother, who is still with us, is French-Canadian and worked as a nurse in Elimra, NY where they lived.
My maternal grandfather (Nicholas Mele), who passed some time ago, was also in the service, Army, I think and is of Italian descent while my maternal grandmother (Winona Mele) who is still with us, is of German and Dutch descent. They had seven children...my mother the oldest.
I have a lot of research to do and since my grandparents and many of my relatives are still alive should be able to fill in a lot of the holes. Now that I've had my own daughter, I am very motivated to complete as much of the family tree as I can...
