Did You Know?

As was common with immigrant families, many of the Elias have both an Italian name and an Americanized name. Names were changed by doctors, schoolteachers, or the kids themselves. Uncle Tom, for example, was born Carmello, Uncle Charlie was born Rosario, and Aunt Mary was to be named Natale.
