John and Theresa Minacapell, Mom's parents
Mom's Dad & Mom: John Minacapelli & Theresa Bruno - both family's were from the town of Villarosa, Cantania region in the province of Enna, Sicily. John had one birth brother named Phillip who married a Baralatto and also had a half-brother named Angelo Minacapelli.
John was born in 1884. He passed at age 44 sometime in 1928 or so in Coalport, PA after working in the coal mines.
Theresa was born around 1891?? in the same town as John Minacapelli. She passed at age 44 in 1935 while living in Baltimore. She was 7 years younger than John. Mom was 9 or 10 years old and Uncle Charlie was 16 or 17 years old when their mother passed.
This information was given to me from Aunt Elizabeth:
Angelo was a half brother to Mom Dad, John Minacapelli. Angelo married a lady named Mary ? Angelo's wife, Mary, and Aunt Lena, Uncle Phillips wife, were very close.
Uncle Angelo and Aunt Mary had 16 children; most of them were born in Sicily and died in Sicily as infants or babies. Aunt Elizabeth had heard that maybe 9 children made it to Baltimore or were born in Baltimore. One of Uncle Angelo's and Aunt Mary's children was named Josie. She married a Buscallia. She had a daughter name Anna Mae who married Charles Snyder. They have 2 daughters, Linda born in Africa and Lauri and 1 son, Mark. Either Lauri or Mark were born in Japan.

With regards to the next paragraph, I'm not sure I've listed the below information correctly; it doesn't make sense after reading the information about Uncle Angelo in the above paragraph, but I'm including it and will correct as soon as I can……...
John Minacapelli had a half brother named John Brungo. John Brungo was married to a Sarah ? John Minacapelli and John Brungo had the same mother, but different fathers. John and Sarah has 5 children: 4 sons and 1 daughter.
