I am curious where you live. My grandfather also came to Putnam (not Putman) County from San Giorgio Canavese to work in the coal mines. My mother and husband are from PC and I was born and raised in Spring Valley where there were many Rivas. Really enjoying your website!
Thanks for the comment! When my father's family left Illinois they settled in the Grand Rapids, MI area to work in the furniture factories. I'm still in the general area as are all my Riva cousins.
