OMG Barbara, I think we're related!!! Yes, it was Gregory that drew "These Woman", I just couldnt think of it when I first wrote you. And yes, I knew bits of John being a furrier. And the name of the other brother is Caspare, who came here, married Grace but, no children. Never heard the name ...

Hi Greenweedz, Maria here. I dont know if we're on the same track, but, did you have any relative in NY that wrote a strip in the paper (I'll get the name of him & the name of what he wrote). My grandma's brothers were in the fashion business. She is a D'Alessio from Montefalcone, Italy the town of ...

Hi Biff, just saw your message about the manifest. I must say i'm confused. I'm trying to sort this info out, but, its not making sence. I'm thinking that Filomena is grandma Consolata's sister & Mariamina is her daughter w/the surname of Ciarnoli. I also thought Carlo Leonardo could be her son as ...

Hi B & V....I just cant believe I now know the name of my great grandpa,

Hi Biff & Valerie, Just got on & saw this info. I have never heard of these places, Mammola & San Fili. Also, possible, Giuseppe had a brother named
Francesco, because Rosina had a baby named the same that died when he was a child (influenza). So now I know at least one sibling of grandpa.

Thank you both so much for the info. It is so great to see something in print about our family. I dont know great-grandparents names, nor do I know the town near Cosenza where they all came from. I guess I'll start looking for info about Cosenza.
Regards,
Maria Luigi

I'm looking for my grandfather Joseph Ciccia who married Rose Miceli. They came from a town near Cosenza. They had 5 children. Albert, Nick,
Victoria, Anthony & Carmella. They all settled in Chicago and the name could possibly be Ciccio.
