My grandparents, Annielo and Domenica Criscuolo, came to the USA from Ascea in 1913. My mother told me that he was a policeman in Italy. I would love to know if there is any family still there. They settled in Rochester, NY.

I have a friend who lives in Israel who told me that the surname "Marano" comes from the name given to Jews who emigrated to Spain during the 12th and 13th centuries. This was my maiden name and he wondered if there could be any Jewish heritage in my family. Anyone have any info on that?
