Dear Laurie~
My youngest sister Angela married Alex Ricchio Jr.
Her daughters were here one day when I was searching for my Smith line and asked if I would start a search for them on the Ricchio side.
So I looked for Ricchio and came up with RICCIO- so it was the
closest I could come.
This family is the only Ricchio's I know of in the area. We took photos of Allex's family grave sites but have no idea where they originally came from. Alex SR. was a truck driver and singer and his wife ran a truckstop/ restaruant until she died suddenly of a brain anyerism, I am thinking Alex was only 13 years old or so. He was a fellow classmate in my grade.
Alex's moms name was Arlene: Alex is one of the twins.
some of his siblings that I know of are:
Alice ( his twin),Tom, Sharon, Barbara, Cindy, Andy,there is another brother - can't think of his name right now.
I believe there is a sister Patricia? she died young.There may be some that I have not recalled here. I know that he has a rather large family.
We are having a family cook out today at my mother's, ( our father has passed) so I will ask Alex/ Angie about his family and see if they know where they come from I do know Angie has some information on their grandparents and maybe great grand parents.I seem to recall that they recently took a trip to MICHIGAN for a family members funeral this may have been his grandmother - which side I do not know. By the way - we live in Iowa.
Hope to hear from you soon ~Kelly
