Lisa visited the graves of 3 generations past her grandfather, who was the one that emigrated to Australia in the thirties. It was obvious from the cemetary that life was very hard on the islands back then. The graveyard was full of children. Many people left for the lands of oportunity, being Australia, America and Argentina. Many of the graves are Tesoriero's but many are not relations. Because many poeple had the same first and surnames they also carried the christian name of their father to further help identify them.
