Name changes

Honestly, I should post more often. A resolution to a lost password may help :)
So, I resolved the Sognara-Wilson last name issue. Kind of. Wincenzo Sognara, at some point, changed his name to John Vincent Wilson(b 1846 d 1916). As a reminder, John Vincent Wilson was Gazella Wilson-Winkler-Watson's father. Gazella was my g-grandmother. Anyway, some documents sent by cousin Marsha included his Certificate of Naturalization.

I have no idea when or why he changed his name, but I did come across a newspaper announcement of divorces granted and it's possible that Mr. Sognara changed his name as a result of the divorce. If that was him and his ex-wife, the reason cited was cruelty or something along those lines. Dun, dun, dun...the plot thickens. I'm such a hopeless mess that I can't find the article now.

Little tidbits that show up out of no where, make me wonder who else has documents that could solve all the riddles that leave us banging our heads on our desks.
