Searching for Antonelli Roots

Dear Michelle: My great grandfather was also Antonio Antonelli, I believe he was born earlier than 1888, as his son, my grandfather Eugene was born in 1898. Anyway they were infact from outside Naples. A small town called Mirabella Eclano. There, the Antonelli's owned a dry goods store. There are others from Bonito and Avellino, all just outside Naples. Antonio, born around 1875 came to America around the turn of the century, he had 3 children, Eugene, Domenic and a girl whose name escapes me. His family followed 8 - 10 years later. No one I know was killed on a bridge, however many Antonellis did settle in the Boston area (is that near Revere?), Hoboken NJ and Brooklyn NY (my family). On a sad note, many Antonellis were killed in an Italian earthquake in the early 1980's and my trail stops there.
