Through the help of Maurizio Merlino, we were introduced to one branch of the Giammo' family that still lives in the area at Rocca. These ended up to be Tom's sixth cousins in his generation. There is a second branch of Giammo' families also living in Rocca, whom we did not meet, that are fifth cousins both to Tom and to the other Rocca Giammo's.
Most of the time, however, was spent in the rectory at the church of Santo Costantino in Capri Leone. With the help of a sixth cousin living in Australia (Tony Accinato), his friend who recently had moved back to Rocca from Australia [Giuseppe Vitanza], Giuseppe's Australian born wife whose parents were from nearby Naso [Maria Sgro], and Maurizio Merlino - Tom was given permission by the pastor, Father "Tano", to go through the church records on his own. A schedule was set up allowing Tom four hours per day in the mornings. After nine such sessions, Tom had accomplished most of what he had come for there and was beginning to wear out his welcome - and so called it quits.
