Sapienza, Rosario and Brunetti, Salvatore

Post by Elaine1121 »

I am looking for information/relatives of my great grandparents, Rosario and Philomena Sapienza. Rosario was born in 1885 and Philomena in 1889, Sicily. They came to the United States in 1905 and had 3 boys and 5 girls:

Pietro
Salvatore
Angelo
Frances
Michelene
Rosina
Rita and
Elenore - my paternal grandmother

Elenore married my grandfather, Salvatore Brunetti. They had one son together.

The only document I have is a copy of the Fifteenth Census of the USA. I will be taking another trip to Italy this year with a few days in Sicily. It would be nice to find any relatives.

This is probably him:

Place of birth was indexed incorrectly. Maybe it was Villarosa, province of Enna.
