My gr grandfather was adopted by an Italian couple. His obit states he was born in Alsace Lorraine France. September 27 1855.Educated in Rome, Italy. His adopted father was Frank Lawrence and adopted mother Vincengo Pacello. The Lawrence name was spelled a few different ways. Here's hoping for a finding to start this New Year. He was given the name Anthony.
