  1. In his book "The Boston Italians", Stephen Puleo cites historian William DeMarco that Avellinese "inhabited the Sheafe Street-Copps Hil area, as well as North Square" (pp 69-70). Which may help explain why my mother's Zia Silvia lived to the age of 99 without ever learning English while living on Sheafe Street.

    So, Mr. Jeff ... want to help me transcribe the census records for Sheafe Street? I see so many names from Torre that I don't even know where to begin :-)
