I remember my mother saying that the masses at Immaculate Conception Church were said in German and there were German nuns in the school. It seems to be an area where the most recent immigrants to this city were congregated, a place where relatives were already established, language spoken, grocery stores established, etc. Some German names in the area still were around until recently, i.e. Kramers's Bakery, etc. Many German families can still trace their roots back to the 'Burg.<br />Lakeside GirlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-68477239617169392972011-01-07T17:59:35.713-05:002011-01-07T17:59:35.713-05:00God Bless The Italians.

MY MOTHER'S PEOPLE WERE FROM THERE WHILE MY FATHER'S FAMILY WERE FROM GRUMO, THE VILLAGE ADJOINING. MANY OF THE PEOPLE I MET WERE VERY FAMILAR WITH THE TRENTON AREA, ESPECIALLY CHAMBERSBURG. I DID NOTICE THE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ROMANS AND THE PEOPLE FROM THE NAPLES AREA. MOST OF THE ITALIANS THAT MIGRATED TO THE U.S.A. WERE FROM SOUTHERN ITALY AND FROM SMALLER VILLAGES. I DID GET TO WITNESS THE FEAST OF LIGHTS THAT HONORED THE MADDONNA. BEST REGARDS.Ralph Lucarellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06710107087683397946noreply@blogger.com
