The names are so similar to our family! And yet not quite the same. With the Italian naming traditions which were followed so carefully by our family, I have to think that there is some connection, somehow. Do you have any history of the Totino name? Could it be a misspelling of Taranto, perhaps? This happened frequently as immigrants came to the USA. Another thought, perhaps the Totino line married in to the Taranto line. What are the birth years of the seven children you mentioned? I find it very fascinating that the names include members of TWO lines of my family. Francesco, Giuseppe and Ilario are all brothers in my family history, and Caterina and Maria are sisters in another family line. It would certainly be interesting, even if complicated, to research all this further. Emily, this is very interesting. The names are so similar to our family! And yet not quite the same.
