    Default Help Needed for Book Project on Scouse Italians

    I am about to embark upon a project for a book dedicated to the families who lived in and around the little Italy area of Liverpool, mainly Gerard St, Christian St, Lionel St and Circus St. This also includes St Joseph and Holy cross parishes. Along with Terry Cooke author of 'Little Italy' and Ron Formby of the 'Scottie Press' families we are interested in contacting are...
    Albertini, Baccino, Biolettis, Bordessa, Capaldi, Cappella, Chiappe, Colletto, Frediani, Fusco, Gianelli, Imundi, Innelli, Mancini, Marengo, Miello's, Minchelli, Minghella, Muscatelli's, Podesta, Riozzi, Sabatini, Santangelli, Silvano, Tambourini, Tremarco, Valerio, Varcelli, Vernti, Ventro, Vermiglio and Volante. Also anyone else with stories of the area are welcome too.
    All information and photographs of the area which later became Gerard Gardens would be greatly appreciated either e-mail me here at the forum or e-mail to dmdanunz@hotmail.co.uk



    Thanks Debz D'Annunzio

    Hi Debz

    I have put a "sticky" on this thread which hopefully will help you get more attention. Good luck once more.

    Default They bombed our chippie !

    Hi to everyone.

    I joined the forum today when I saw this thread on Little Italy.

    My great grandad came here in 1870 from Italy and from humble beginings - like so many immigrants at the time - worked hard to build a life for his growing family as part of the wider Italian community in Liverpool.

    They lived in St. Josephs parish most of their early lives and the family business's peaked around 1930's when we had a number of Chippies and Ice Cream parlours in and around Scottie Rd., Currie St, Limekiln Lane etc.

    I've been researching our family history for 20+ years and I can honestly say that it still facinates me. Unfortunately, all of my dad's generation have now passed on but the rest of us Pod's are still thriving on Merseyside.

    And just in case you were wondering, no, it wasn't our chippie that got bombed. We did loose the site to the Wallasey Tunnel entrance though!

    Regards
