Question

Does anyone want to connect composer Henry Mancini to our global tree?

Answer 1

I had an eighth grade teacher who was friends with him, and her husband (Richard Dennis, my high school's band conductor) came to a film music class in my college and spoke about him, but I'm not in contact with either of them nor even know if they're still living.

Answer 2

I've added Mancini's wife Anna Pece to the tree. More can be done! In the bio "Did they mention music" more ancestors are referenced.

Answer 3

Dear Sharon,

    I added some sources to the profiles of Henry Mancini and his wife.  Also added her parents.  Interesting that the parents of both of them were born outside the USA.  Hopefully, folks with expertise in Ireland, Mexico, and Italy can get involved.

    Hope this helped! -NGP

Answer 4

I have also added a bit more on ancestry of his wife   https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pece-9  as I was able to find a few items in the Forlì del Sannio, Isernia records.

Answer 5

i would love to be  connected to “Hank” Mancini!! He was born in Little Italy   where my paternal grandfather had a furniture store on Mayfield rd.

i bet his family bought some of my grandfather Attiluo’s furniture.

i’m not related but . i’ve seen all his concerts when he’s in  Ohio.  i’m very happy  he is on the  this site.
