Tina:

Thank you for all the e-mails. You've been very helpful, and have filled
several gaps for me. I was particularly pleased to be able to locate Paul &
Attilia and their children. I confess that I hadn't bothered to "turn the
page" from Luigi's family, and so missed them at the top of the next page of the
census. Also (despite the fact that the enumerator very clearly wrote
Mondivalli, I had been looking for them under the name Mondinalli (which is what I
was told was their name). My mother's cousin Bertram remembered Victor
Mondinalli as "a most likeable fellow".

Finding Geoffrey Louis Rota was also a big help; and yes, he was one of
Louis Anthony Rota's sons.

The indexing of Giovanni as Leovamsi was well worth reporting. I've also
found confusion between Rota and Rata - and the census enumerator managed to
insert a few errors, too: my grandmother Linda Rota was listed as Linda Suta in
the 1891 census - and try reading the name of the head of the Islington
household in which cousin Giovanni Rota was living at the time of the that same
Census!
