Additional updates available in the genealogy section of my blog
December 9, 2020
It's been quite a while since anyone, myself included, has posted to our Gatti Family Yahoo! Group. So, the news that Yahoo! is planning to shut down the Yahoo! Groups service on December 15th probably won't upset anyone too much. However, I thought I should make sure everyone is aware of it since it's been available for everyone's use for over 18 years now. I also want to take a moment to thank everyone who participated and shared volumes of invaluable family info and stories using the group over the years. It predated my family tree website and without it, we never would have had the massive reunion in 2002. This family tree site is, of course, still available and hopefully I'll finally get around to updating it someday soon. Despite the lack of updates there, I've still been doing a lot of genealogy research including a DNA test a few years ago and a lot of records searches recently. It's amazing how much spare time you can find during a global pandemic!

It's been forever since I've posted an update to the family tree website and I know that there have been many new additions to the Gatti family, especially in Ray and Kathy's branches of the tree. I'll get them added eventually. In the meantime, they've been kind enough to share all their happy news in the Gatti Family Yahoo! Group.

On the Paull side of the family, there's also some exciting news. Theresa Tull (my first cousin twice removed, aka. my maternal grandmother's first cousin) is now a published author. Her book, A Long Way from Runnemede - One Woman's Foreign Service Journey chronicles her fascinating career as a US Ambassador during several presidential administrations. This space is not nearly long enough to list all of her adventures and accomplishments, but it's really worth checking the book out on Amazon or learn more on the Paull page.

Sadly, the last member of what is known in the Gatti Family Tree as Generation D passed away yesterday. Marion Virginia (Toon) Gatti, better known as Ginny was the sole surviving member of her generation. She was married to Larry Gatti making her my great aunt. She was 96 years old. As you can read on the family tree, she leaves quite a legacy in her daughters Alicia, Rita and Kathy and her grandchildren/great-grandchildren.

Despite the fact that I haven't made any huge changes to this site in a while, my genealogy research and work is not by any means dead. I've been working on updating my database and filling in many blanks in the Paull branches of my family tree, especially the Tulls. However, I haven't had time to put any of that data in a web-friendly format yet. If you want info, please don't hesitate to contact me and ask any questions you may have.

It doesn’t seem at all possible that more than 6 months have passed since the death of my father. I’ve created memorial pages on this site for other family members, but I felt like I should make something more substantial for my Dad. What started out as a page on this site has slowly evolved into emilgatti.com.
Please feel free to visit and take a look at the photos, stories, biography, etc. Then if you have anything you’d like to add about my Dad, please submit it by using the links on the site. I know that there are more stories and details to be added, but I rely on the the people who know them to share them.
Go to www.emilgatti.com for info.

The number of family members in the Gatti tree has once again increased. I just added Rachel Marie Walden, the new wife of Nathan Toon to the tree.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Here's wishing all members of the extended family a joyous Christmas season! Hopefully you're as lucky as I am to be able to take the week off and spend time with family and friends.

Not long ago, we came very close to losing my father. When he choked on food at a diner, a fellow diner rushed to his aid. I just posted some photos of a presentation of a proclamation honoring the hero. They are right here.

Just when I thought the Gatti family tree was up to date Debbie's branch of the tree has sprouted yet another new leaf. OK, maybe I'm taking the tree metaphor a bit far! Please welcome Micah John Bowling to the family. He was born August 24th to Wendy and Michael Bowling.
For those keeping score, that makes 6 members of Generation H of the Gatti tree, all of whom are grandchildren of Debbie and great-grandchildren of Sonny and Dot.
