Went to the Family History Library for five and a half hours today. Ah, it was fun! I found the will for Robert Shanks and all sorts of personal property records and deeds and such, and I also found the death records of Raffaele Iavicoli and his wife Anna Lucia Caldarelli. Raffaele’s from Castiglione Messer Marino, a comune in Chieti (Italy), and that’s where my research will be turning next. All in all, it was quite a successful trip.
