Juan Carlos where are you.
I was doing a little more research and googled Anita Drago and up popped a cousin, Juan Carlos Redaelli, who was researching the same family. The search is three years old so I'm not sure if he's still there or not but I replied anyway. Let's if I get an answer.
Redaelli Family History
Ever since I was very young I've heard stories of the Redaelli Family. My mom, Nellie, didn't really talk much about it. I so wish now that I had engaged her more on it. My brother Steve heard all the same stories yet when we compare notes they're different. I've also gotten stories from my cousins Irene Dooley, Betty Neptune and most recently Kathy Neptune (Maiden names of course). I know Rusty Dooley did something like this a few years back but I was never able to find it. With the internet becoming so much more a useful tool for this type of thing I feel it's worth another try.
The following is information from Kathy:
Okay, the story I have pieced together may not be all correct but its what I have found so far. My mother says the story goes that our great grandfather was married to Anita Drago. Anita's family gave the Amati Violin to someone to take to the 1894 Chicago fair. It never came back. Emilio went thru ellis island in 1908 supposedly looking for the violin and the ship's manifest says he was going to guatamala. From what I see, I think he traveled with the two people listed right next to his name. Don't know how they fit in. So Emilio ended up in El Salvador. In 1911 Cesare & Anita with Tina, Maria & Guido went through Ellis Island. My mother told stories about them living in the east somewhere but after that they ended up in El Salvador. My mom said they were wealthy and owned a jewelery store, theater and I have a picture of the Hotel Redaelli in El Salvador. So then there was an earthquake "El Izalco" that erupted and destroyed all their businesses. Don't know the dates of all this (if it is actually true) but mom & Marta were sent to America to live with Cesare & Anita who were living in San Francisco. Mom went in maybe 1923 or 24. They went on a ship with some friends of Emilio's. Nellie came a year or so later. They lived in SF for a while but they were in LA when my mom & Marta had their 1st communion. I have a neat pix of it.

More from Kathy:
The earthquake was really a volcano errupting - El Izalco- I know that they lived in SF but they were in LA @ Thanksgiving 1931 when Cesare died. Then in January of 32 Emilio died in the revolt. My mother always told the story of how she saw her dad at the foot of her bed on the same night he was killed.
Emilio had the girls by Josephina Rincan -evidently they never married. She had a son George by someone before Emilio. What's strange is that the two sons were born so many years after Nellie. They were little, Mario & Cesar, I think Cesar was a baby when the massacre happened. Emilio was always going to come to America but never made it. There is also a very involved story about the plantations he owned that were stolen from him. Uncle Mario was involved in a lawsuit to reclaim the land but it never happened. Josephina came to LA in the early 40's I think. She and her sons lived near mom I think. I have a picture of our gramma with Aunt Tina, mom, George, Mario & Cesar. Have you ever seen a picture of gramma? I don't think I ever knew she existed until I saw a picture a few years ago. When my mom came to live with us I made a tape of her talking about her life. A lot of what everyone says is just stories, I bet none of the sisters had the same ones.
Well that's about all I know. Let me know which web site you are putting info on.
