Misso family- Birth/Marriage/Death records

I'm looking for any leads to any concrete documentation of the births, marriages, or deaths of three people in particular, Rocco Misso, Cecilia Misso and Joseph (Joe) Misso.

Re: Interesting JS case- Do we have a shot?

Interesting JS case- Do we have a shot?

My GGG Grandfather was one of the few Italians to come to US before the immigration boom. He emigrated from Sicily in 1857 to live with his Uncle and cousin, who he ended up marrying. He joined the ...
