looking for Giordano in New Roads area

I have been looking for my great grandfather, Francesco (Frank) Giordano for almost 4 years. The last known address was a PO box in New Roads in 1904. He fell off the face of the earth.
He came through Ellis Island on the Bolivia in 1893. Have no information on him until 1904 and nothing after that year. Since he left his family in Sicily and was in the U.S. eleven years and did not send for his family, my grandfather, his son, came to New Roads looking for him in 1904. I know they met but what happened after that, I don't have an idea.
I think he has a new family somewhere in the New Roads, Fordech area. If anyone one knows of Giordanos in that area, I would like them to get in touch with me at this email address.

Surnames: Giordano, Ventola,
Hi. I don't know if this is related- but it may be. My great grandmother's name was Donna-Maria Giordano and she was married to Guiseppe Ventola. Maria was from the villiage of Campofiorito in Sicily. I believe she had a sister named Lena(or Antiolena) who was married to a Manda and lived close to New Roads in either Livonia or Torbert. Let me know if any of this might relate to your family. :)

I don't think there is any connection with my great grandfather who was from Cefalu' Sicily. I don't know if he had any siblings. When was your great grandmother in that area? Do you know anything about your gr gr grandparents?
I really have no information on him, other than I know his father was Giuseppe Giordano, and his mother was Maria Grazia Santacolomba. I have his birth record. I am waiting for his marriage record to come any time from the FHC. If you think there is any connection let me know.
