My brother in law was Sicilian also and one of the greatest guys going...loved him dearly until he passed on. I once asked him the difference between Sicilian and Italian...his answer could not be posted on FR but I still laugh at it...My mothers side of the family are from County Mayo in Ireland...beautiful country and there are 2 kinds of people in this world.......those that are Irish and those that wish they were Irish....at least thats what my Irish mother told me...:O),,

the idea of a perfect gift (for me) is a champagne glass full of cut but unset diamonds....I asked Santa one year for that and he laughed so hard I fell off his lap....oh wait, that was my husband.

Anything South of Rome are Brutti and Turks, my stepfather, the Northerners are all Germans, see above.

My family is English with a mixture of Scots Irish, Ulster, and Papists, also Ulster, who hate each other for no known reason even though they share the same last name.

To complicate matters I married a Polock who was half Lithuanian and they hate each other for no known reason, to argue this was a great opportunity for a fight at the White Eagle.

The way out was for me was to argue Salem, Mass, 1628.
