My BB name "MaryCas" is from my in-laws - Casarella.
Other family names on that side are:
Calia Pasqualicchio Palantonio (related to the sportscaster, Sal)
A popular name in Northeast PA is Dente.
For any newbies here, don't be fooled by "MaryCas", I'm not a woman. I'm actually a male Kraut-Mick-Polock.
As you know, MaryCas, I'm from that area originally, and knew some Pasqualicchio families in Dunmore, which has been a little more Italian than Irish although now everybody's mixed. Was your wife's family related to those?
The Pasqualicchios were from Belleville and Montclair, NJ, but I'll ask my mother-in-law (MaryCas) if there were any in Dunmore (where the Casarella's lived). Actually my wife's grandmother was a Murphy from Dunmore, hey, maybe you are related with that Irish blood?!
