I am doing family history research. Through Eileen Viola I discovered that her mother‚ Theresa Endrizzi Viola adopted Joseph Gallucci at age 13 in 1965. It's an unusual story‚ as Theresa lived in Morgantown‚ had 11 other children‚ and her husband had just been killed in a work accident. She read about Joe and decided to bring him into her family. They embraced him and adopted him‚ although he kept his name as Gallucci. On his wedding certificate he listed his father as James Frederick Gallucci and his birth mother as Virginia Luzader. So he knew his birth mother and father. I am just curious about how at age 13 he ended up in the Children's Home of Wheeling (WVA). I don't think his birth parents ever married. Joseph Gallucci passed away this past December 2025. I wish I had found him before he died to ask him more! Would love any info someone can give me.
