Thanks Everyone  :)

Catz here (Julie), unfortunately I stopped using my catz email a while ago and did not know anyone answered.  My Cousin sent the rootschat link to me to check out and I had remember I posted a message.

Wow, Gypsy, I must know your friend, the grandson, unless I have not met him yet, I am a granddaughter of Domenico, I started doing my family history, sadly after mum passed away (it would be so much easier if she were alive) and I have a lot of information on our family.

I would love to chat.

Cheers
Julie (catz)

He was also a member of a club near where he lived, pardon my spelling or translation as I don't know what the name means. The Club was "Fogolar Furlan" Full of interesting and some shady characters, I used to get a frisking every time I went in. Money all over the tables, lots of Vino and cups of strong coffee, with eyes watching every move and the weapons out of site but not out of reach. ::)

An interested old bystander :o

Hello Neil

You have sparked interest, did you know of my grandfather or know someone in his family?  How did you come by the information?  The shadiness sounds about right, I have heard of many of these clubs in the Bankstown area, from family members.  Is there any other information out there about my grandfather that you may know... if you think it is personal message me.

Hi Julie,

My information is a few years old early to mid 70's. I worked for some interesting characters in the Club Industry. I remember your Grandfather from both Fogolar Furlan and Marconi Soccer. I knew quite a few of the Calabrian's or that's what I knew them as. All very interesting people. I lived at Mt Pritchard at the time and many were neighbours and fellow church goers. I will pm some stuff to you as I have to go out now, don't know if relevant, but interesting. :o
