My grandfather, Carl Attardo, was born in Aragona, Sicily, Italy and moved to Brussels, Belgium when he was six years old. When he was 11, him, his parents, and six siblings made their way to the United States of America aboard the sister ship of the Titanic. They were poor and worked in the engine room of the ship for the entirety of their trip overseas. Once in the US, the Attardo family resided in Waltham, Massachusetts, where they still live today.
