I am a direct descendant of the Palladino family that is referred to, my great grandmother being Rachel Palladino. She married Joseph Bosco and lived on 95 James St where they had 17 kids! One was my grandfather, Michael Bosco, and it was well known that he knew Jimmy Durante and that Rachel spoke of the Palladinos being cousins of the Durantes from Salerno. How they were related is what I've been trying to find out! Please contact me with the title of this "Durante: Early Years" document where he mentions the Palladino family ... please!!! My email is delpret@bellsouth.net. Thanks!
