About
I'm Clem, the third Clement Ziroli. My father's family came from Montenero Val Cocchiara in Molise and settled in Chicago; my mother's came from Monreale in Sicily and settled outside Cleveland. Both sides ended up in Southern California, and now in Las Vegas. Somewhere along the way the stories stopped being written down. This site is my attempt to start again.
Everything here is written by me unless it says otherwise. I am not a professional genealogist. Where I have a document, I say so. Where I only have what someone remembered, I say that too.
I have a record, a photograph with a date, or two relatives who agree independently.
One source, or an online index I haven't matched to a primary record yet.
Someone remembers it. Worth writing down; not yet worth treating as fact.
Living relatives appear with a birth year only. No schools, no cities, no guesses about where anyone lives now.
If you knew any of these people, or you have a document, a photograph, or a different version of a story, write to me at clem@clemziroli.com. There's no form. A plain email is enough, and I'll credit you by name if you'd like.
