Okay I got a trial account at ancestry.com and here is the tree so far:

Someone mentioned that John's mother. Mary (Kokoris) Podesta adopted a "bunch of children" but I see no information on this in ancestry.com . Any ideas on where I can look for unofficial adoptions?

John and Tony Podesta's dad had two brothers, Raymond Edward Podesta (b. March 23, 1918 d. December 24 1996) and Lawrence Podesta (b.~1913 d.sometime after the 1940 census). I see very little footprint of Lawrence. It listed him as single in 1940. Raymond I have looked and I don't see much of a trail.

Here is Raymond's profile so far ( http://i.imgsafe.org/479439dcf1.png ). He lived at home at least until 22. He joined the military in 1941 (army). And the next thing I have for him is that he dies in 1996.

Now in my searching there was a LOT of Podesta's in Ohio (Chicago area). I looked on the way that Grandfather Podesta came over and looked on the ship he came on http://i.imgsafe.org/479e370408.jpg. Here is the others that came with him ( http://i.imgsafe.org/47a2113fbc.jpg ). The passengers with last name Podesta are:

  • Podesta, Antonio 17 male single (John's Grandfather)
  • Podesta, Teresa (?) 30 female wife
  • Maria Podesta 22 sex: wife
  • Maria ? Podesta 1yr 6months child
  • Virginio ? Podesta 1yr 7months child
