He originally arrived in Erie, PA around 1900.He went back to Italy and returned again in about 1911.This time he went to work in the coal mines of southeastern OK in Hartshorne, Pittsburg Co, OK.Several other families from Rocca Pia were also there.He first married Mary Duca and had children Mathalda, Dorothy, and Fred.Mary died in the flu epademic of 1918 or 1919.He then married Gertrude Mattingly.She had been married before and had at least one son, Leon.Donato and Gertrude had the following children:Josephine,Doris, William, Daniel, and Mary.Daniel married Mary Patricia Oliver and had three sons; Anthony, Steven, and George.Steven is my husband, born in 1954.
Is anyone out there connected?
