Below are the photos of Maria Filomena Peragina and her husband Rocco Tetro. Recently I had received notification from MyHeritage for ‘discovery matches’. In the tree of I. Tetro, Italy, were the pictures of Maria and her husband.
And here is how they are connected to our family tree. (everyone was born in Grumo Appula, Bari, Italy

Maria Filomena who married Rocco Tetro making her my 1st cousin 3x removed and Rocco the husband of my 1c3xr.

I am not a payed member of MyHeritage so I can’t access to much of the information they periodically share. Like contacting this person in Italy. But it is wonderful to have these discoveries! Initially, I had them in my tree already but with no pics. That was a really bonus to share with family 🙂
