Varie ed Eventuali (Miscellaneous Items)
This page is a compilation of miscellaneous genealogical
items. I will also use it as a platform to pay homage to two of the pioneers in Cunico
Ancestry".
CHRIS AND PEARL CUNICO
In 2004 our genealogy team decided to meet in Raton, New
Mexico to look
for "Cunico data" in old mining records. We all lived in different
parts of the United States and Canada, and we needed a central place to meet.
For many of us, this was the first time we were going to meet "in person". Chris and Pearl not only opened their house to
the 8 of us (some of who were complete strangers), but they also welcomed
anyone and everyone with Cunico ties.
Pearl fed us and
Chris entertained us with his singing and accordion playing.
When it came time to leave, there were many hugs and tears, and promises to
do it again, maybe next time in Asiago. We met again the following year in
Trinidad/Sopris Colorado, but it was from this initial meeting that our 2006
International gathering of the Cunico's was born.
Chris and Pearl are two of the warmest, most wonderful and giving people you
could ever meet. For their many hours of research, and for their
unequivocal generosity, we are forever indebted.
Our cousin Marilyn Bailey found a quote that sums up the work we do:
“We stand on the shoulders of those
who came before us” |
