From Cafarella to Van der Hoeven

Grammie's...(Maria Rosa Cincotta Cafarella) Mother had a brother Domenico.  He was also our grandfather, John Cafarella's(the barber) uncle.(Confused already?)
Domenico married Rose Patane.  They had at least seven children.
Jenny is the woman who married Joseph Cafarella and this is Rose and Jake's family.  Joseph was the one murdered in his store.
Antonio is the man who married Grammie's sister Carolina and had their children in Livorno.
The other child that I now know about is Salvatore, not to be confused with Carolina's son of the same name. 
Salvatore, married to Sebastianna Greco, had a child named Rosa.  She grew up in Stazzo, a village near Acireale in Sicily. 
Rosa married  Rosario Fichera.
Rosa's daughter Lucia has fed me all the information on this branch of the family through her husband Patrick Van der Hoeven.  Lucia is the daughter of  Rosa and Rosario pictured here.
