So I followed the papertrail and found out that Rosario was from Colosimi Consenza Calabria Italy.I obtained an extract of his birth certificate from the Italian Commune. In fact Rosario was born 20 October 1857.The parents were correct just as his and Elizabetta's birth certificate said.
I finally got in touch with a family member who has been doing research on this, my uncle Gord Ross.His info and mine matched exactly but his was taken from memory.This makes me confident that Annie led me down the right trail - thanks again!
From Gord I learned that Santa Christiana is in fact being considered for Sainthood by the Vatican for healing powers.
This is absolutely amazing.I emailed the Vatican several weeks ago asking if they know any updates but I am not holding my breath.
I feel extremely lucky to have found all of this so easily - I am sure many people struggle for years to get info.Now my family is constantly emailing me sending bits and pieces of memories and everyone is relearning the family history.It is amazing how quickly memories fade.I think mine must be a happy story on this Greco Forum.Will keep you all posted
