The most interesting thing i found was the fact that they dropped the "La" in Lacavera. Sometimes Lacavera, other times Cavera. Strange indeed..

Hey Nuccia,

I also wanted to show you what a fellow Giuffre in the States found out about my great-great grandmother Carmela Lacavera. You were looking into some details for her a while back:

Nuccia, long time! I hope all is well?

Yeah the stuff you PM'd me is, i think, Giuseppe's brother's wife and kids. They both married into the Vazzana (different Vazzana fathers - brothers) family apparently. This was Francesco Eduardo Giuffre's family. I think they stayed in the US.

280 Queen St was where my grandfather was headed

My great grandfather Giuseppe was married to a Rosaria Vazzana though. he came in the early 1900's too. i'll have to dig through here and find the exact date. he travelled with an Amodeo (last name)...

I'll get back to you on that, but if you look through all of this i think it's in there somewhere ...

Hey Richie,

I just went through a similar headache trying to find out my family's original last name when they moved to Toronto from Termini Imerese, Sicily. Our last name was changed to Jeffrey. after years of digging i found out it was changed from Giuffre. Apparently Giuffrida is a variation of ...

I just found this. It looks like it has some info i couldn't find before. Namely my ggrandfather's siblings. The (unknown) Giuffre is Leonardo Giuffre (my gggrandfather) and the Giuseppe is my ggrandfather.
