Ernesto Victor ROSSI

[trevisan2]

I am helping a friend that has his maternal grandfather coming from some place in Sicily Italy.
However He does not know where in Italy their Ernesto Victor Rossi family acturally comes from. His grandmother Laura Avella burned the papers, when he was 4 years old, when she departed from the family.
Ernesto Cictor Rossi is said to have entered USA via Canada, with his Wife Laura Carmen Avella.

Here is what he knows.
His Mother is Maria Catherine Rossi
Born 17 aug 1907
Los Angeles, California
Died 18 April 1995
San Jose, Santa Clara, California

Married 17 March 1934

Maria was married to
Leonard George Baptist
Born 14 Sept 1905
San Jose, California
Died 5 July 1975


Marie Rossi's father is

Ernesto victor Rossi
Born abt 1877
Where? somewhere in Sicily.

He wa smarried to Laura Carmen Avella
Born abt 1872
Died abt 1950 California
Lisbon, Portugal

The family says that Ernesto Rossi came to the United States through Canada, and was married to his wife out side the USA.

My friend Don would greatly appreciate someone to help him find his Italian ancestry and where in Italy Ernesto Victor Rossi comes from.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
