Hi. I'm looking for information on my great-great grandparents:

FRANCESCO FRISCIA (born around 1860 in Sciacca, Sicily) and

ALFONSA (ALFONSINA)? SOLDANO (born around 1865 also in Sciacca, Sicily).


My great-grandmother, their daughter ANNA FRISCIA was born on October 16, 1895 in Sciacca, Agrigento, Sicily.
