Hello,

Any information on anyone below is most welcome :)

No one listed by name in this post is still living.

My great-grandfather was Francesco Russo (1891-1973) and his wife was Terese Sapirenza (possibly. this could be incorrect). Their thirteen children included Silvio (b. 1915) Lucy (b. 1917) Angelia, Antonio (my grandfather b. 1921) Michael (b. 1922) Louis (b. 1923) Mary (b. 1926) Joseph (b. 1931) Anna (b. 1932) Vito (b. 1935) and Ralph (possibly Raffael). None of the people in generation are still living.
I mostly would like to know more about my great-grandmother. All I know is they called her "The Dane" because of her fair skin and hair. She was from Northern Italy or Yugoslavia or Turkey, and Francesco was from Southern Italy, or Sicily. I would also like to know when they came to America and what route they took and when. And where they really were from.

Francesco's siblings were Celestino Russo (Uncle Charlie) and Saverio Russo. (Or possibly they were the same person. Still looking into that.)

Also, my mother's godmother was Rosina (Grande) Russo (1923-2009). Rosina was married to my mother's cousin Vito Russo. Their children were Bernadette (1948-2003) and Victor (1949-2000). We would very much like to know how Vito Russo husband of Rose was related to the family.

Ralph married Mary (would like to know her last name) and had one child Teresa (1941-2007).

Lucy married Amedeo Izzo and had two boys.

Angelia married a man with the last name Fico and had three children including Albert (1938-2014)

Antonio (1921-1997) married Helen Mary "May" (Gore) Russo of Wales in 1945.

Michael (1922-2000) married Cecilia. She became paralyzed from the neck down during the blizzard of 1978 and never walked again. Any information on her is welcome as well.

Mary (b 1926) married Alfred Sousa or Souza.

Joseph (b 1931) married Alice.

Anna married Ephesio Faiola.

Celestino Russo (Uncle Charlie) (Charlie) married Grazia (Aunt Grace) (Grace) Varciela or Carcelia and had three children, one of whom was Vito who is no longer living. Vito married Julia Manzi (1931-2011) and had one son Gregory.

Also looking for any general family information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Alana
