How To Use Or Read This Blog

I am not a Marini. My parents were Frank Tocci & Christine (Cedrone). Clara is my mother's sister. That's why there are so many " Tocci -Cedrone," links. I created this blog as a "sister," to my family blog. The images/videos represented here reflect  Clara, Dan, Janet & Linda as well as "my side," including Dan's 8mm home movies which also feature the Marini's.
If you're a Marini & would like to contribute to the blog  please contact me, (there is no charge) so I can help you link your photos & videos.To use this blog...
Scroll this page. This will lead you to & through  various posts.
You can also view past posts by scrolling all the way down past the last post & click on "older posts," or just scroll down the right column  to the Blog Archives. Click a month & then any of the posts within that month. 
The slideshows to your right will take you to the web sites where all the images & mp3's are available to download for FREE.
The one question I'm often asked, "Why so many versions of the same video, or content."
When I first began I had limited video quality available. I was pulling clips from videotapes, sometimes not the best. As I restored video, I didn't delete the older versions because of the work involved. Instead I created a link within the older version which would direct you to the newer version(s).
However as explained throughout this blog, back in the 80's Clara had her home movies transferred to VHS. Assuming she no longer needed the original films she threw them away! I had no knowledge of this at that time. (ALWAYS keep your originals). The transfer quality was only fair. By today's standards they would be poor. The tapes are worn, further diminishing quality. I converted the data of those tapes into  digital files so they could be made available online. While the quality is lacking, it's all that's left. View them below.
