I was finally able to track down Grandpa Fraccastoro’s Naturalization record from the National Archives! This is an interesting record for a number of reasons outside of finally knowing when he became a naturalized citizen. Note that it provides a historical address as well as a date that he lived there but more importantly it confirms his birth date.

Does anyone have Dad’s coleslaw recipe? I know it’s a long shot but hey, maybe someone knows how he made it.
I can make a guess…. cabbage, miracle whip, salt and lots of black pepper 
The other day, I added image and document galleries to the site. If you look at the top of the page you should see a tab that says “Galleries” — that’s them. If you click there, you will be taken to a page that lists all the galleries on the site. Right now, there is just one for Dad (Delphis Paquette). I uploaded some interesting documents tonight, take a look!
