And I could have bought Louis "Faux"ton purses for about 6 bucks from almost any of them in Rome.
Note the rambling? Anywho, I don't know much about the history, and my mom's dad's side of the family is rather estranged I believe (he died before I was born so I don't know) Actually my great grandfather on my mom's mom's side came to the US because he was a) the youngest and b) the only one left to be a priest. At which point he ran to the mines in Africa to work, then came to work on the Panama canal. Got sick, got brought into the country and then went to Italy to marry a good Italian woman. 
And again rambly...

I can view the page. Try to read it when you get some time. It's just an example of all the information out there.
