I also have LaSala from Santa Margherita di Belice in my ancestry, but not your Paolo. Since the records for this town are not currently available on ancestry.com, I suggest you rent the microfilmed records for the town from a local family history center.

Registri dello stato civile di Santa Margherita di Belice (Agrigento), 1821-1929

Hello Hoven,
My family originated in Cattabelotta, my G Grand Father Acourso LaSala, Grandfather Pelligrano LaSala, my Father Antonio LaSala. I was just there it is beutiful, I was born in Santa Anna, the small town before Cattabellotta, where my cousins now live. My mother sister married a collette. Do you know if Acourso fits in your family. Also do you know if they were called by a nick name instead of LaSala their last name.
