Almost all of these photos were brought to America from Palma Campania, Napoli, by my grandaunt, Maria Soletta Normandia (1873-1947), widow of Antonio Alfano (1876-1911). After Antonio died in New York in 1911, Maria brought their three children to Brooklyn, New York. After her death, her son, Alfonso Sebastiano Alfano (1909-2000), kept the photos until he was quite old. At that time, he gave them to our cousin, Robert Aniello Normandia, Sr.  A few years ago, Robert gave them to me since I am compiling the family history. I am slowly getting information about the photos and would appreciate any information or ideas you may have.

Do they look like anyone in your family?
