I dont know if anyone has responded. The Russell Library has the Melilli birth, death, marriage records on microfiche. There is also a room devoted to early immigrants. If you live in Ct. It's worth visit. Also, check other ports of entry such as philadelphia, Boston, and Baltimore.

Could it be TARASCIO Giuseppe, born in Floridia (province of Syracuse, Sicily), around 1904, and arrived in New York in 1911?
His father was TARASCIO Antonino (later Tony SR.) and his mother Marianna GALEANO.
Here the ship list:
S.S. Duca degli Abruzzi, sailing from Napoli- 15th March 1911

Re: Town of Canicattini Bagni, Siracusa Province, Sicily

Stephie0816 — 2013-04-28 12:51:35Z

My great-grandfather came from Canicattini Bagni. His name was Emanuele RANDAZZO-born about 1890. He immigrated to the US and eventually settled in Middletown, CT. He married Rosina LA ROSA about 1914. They and their family returned to Sicily about 1926/27 and returned permanently to Middletown, CT between 1936 and 1937. I'm looking for information about his parents. I believe his father's name was Girolamo RANDAZZO and his mother's first name was Rosalia. I believe her surname to be possibly MICENO? Any information is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, you have posted your query in the Siracusa Board. Gambino and Bonello are from Palermo.

The small town named Canicattini Bagni (province of Siracusa),and they lived there several BORDONARO and VENEZIANO.

Re: Perasco, Peraiscio, Parasco - Siracusa beginnings

marisa0708 — 2013-04-28 12:29:34Z

I think it could be the last name TARASCIO. The last names that you list, don't exist in Syracuse.

Re: Town of Canicattini Bagni, Siracusa Province, Sicily

marisa0708 — 2013-04-28 10:51:40Z

In Canicattini, the last name MICENO doesn't occur. MICELI is the correct last name.

Re: DiMari/DiMare; Augusta, Siracusa, Sicily

dimouza — 2013-04-15 13:36:43Z

Yes, I finally did it. I have mapped EVERY DiMare from Augusta Sicily back to the 1700's. And yes, we are all related. The common ancestor was Francesco DiMare born in the early 1700's. In actuality, te original name is Mari according to census records, and the two sons who then spawned the rest o the DiMares were referre to at DiMari...which then morphed in later years....both DiMari and DiMare were use interchangeably. Please see www.augusta-genealogy.info for the tree.

Fisicaro

manhattangirl26 — 2013-04-05 08:09:24Z

I am looking for Fisicaro relatives within Siracusa. My great great grandfather Giuseppe Fisicaro was born in Cassaro which is 45 minutes from Siracusa. He had cousins spread out within Siracusa. Giuseppe had two brothers named Michael and Salvatore. Giuseppe ended up living in Philadelphia and his children changed the name to Fiscaro (they dropped the "E").

Hi, I just joined Ancestry and am starting to dig in. A number of Russo & DePaolo's came over from Melilli in the late 1800's / early 1900's. I've been having a terrible time locating any records though.

Re: Birth and death records Lentini, Siracusa

Their maiden names were Fanciullo as well; Sebastian (born 21dec1896) and Pasquale (born 1892) were cousins, from Carlentini.

What are the dates and places of birth, marriage and death for your Fanciullo's?

Re: Birth and death records Lentini, Siracusa

ncimino1 — 2013-03-23 21:48:26Z

What are the maiden names for Sebastiana born 1896. and her sisters Nunziata and Anna?

Re: Birth and death records Lentini, Siracusa

chefsandy7 — 2013-03-23 14:55:57Z

Here's what I know, or I think I know.
My Nana (great grandmother) was Sebastiana or Sebastianeta (little Sebastiana) born 1896. She came with her sisters Nunziata and Anna from Carlentini in 1914. On the Ellis Island records it says that they are going to stay with her brother, Sebastiano or maybe Antonio in Omaha.
My Nana married Pasquale Fanciullo born 1891 or 1892, who is said to be her first cousin (which explains a lot about my colorful Sicilian family).
Sebastiana and Pasquale had their first son, Guiseppe, in 1917 in Omaha.
From the 1940 census records it seems that they had Americanized their names; Sebastianeta became Nettie, Pasqualle became Frank, and Guiseppe became James.
So “Nettie” and “Frank” had the following children, all born in Omaha.
1917 Guiseppe “James”
1921 Sebastino “Subby”
1924 Joe
1927 Nancy (I wonder if this was Americanizing Nunziata)
1930 Concettina “Tina”
1934 Sam

I remember visiting my great Nano and Nana in Omaha in the summer of 1967 (or maybe 66 or 68, I was really little). I remember that although they both lived a couple of houses away from each other, and both came to see their parents every day, my aunt Nancy and aunt Tina did not speak to each other for years.

James Fanciullo married Josephine “Josie” Nigro and moved to Los Angeles. They had two kids, my mom, Nettie Ann born 1942, and my uncle Frank.

Re: Cannamela of Sortino, Sircausa.

plapilla — 2013-03-17 20:49:13Z

I know this post is outdated and don't know if you will see my reply. There are now church records online for the town of Sortino. I found death records for some of your ancestors among them.

Giuseppe Cannamela, the son of deceased Luigi Cannamela and Francesca Calafiore, died in Sortino on Aug 17, 1932 (church record #127) at the age of 75. He was the husband of Vincenza Rizzo. (on familysearch.org, it is image 108 of 274 with the church death records for Sortino which include this year).

Vincenza Rizzo died on May 26, 1937 (church record #73) at the age of 85. She was the daughter of deceased Vincenzo Rizzo and deceased Vincenza Gurciullo. She was the wife of Giuseppe Cannamela.

We are trying to break through a genealogy brick wall and find our grandfather's family; originally thought that he was born in Syracuse New York of Italian immigrants in 1904...but recently determined that it was the wrong Syracuse...should have been Siracusa Sicily. The name stayed spelled as Perasco in the U.S., but also believed it was misspelled...Parasco, Peraisco, Peraiscio? Anyone encounter those names in their family trees?

I am looking for information on Giuseppe Uccello, born sometime around 1850-1860 in Canicattini Bagni. His wife was Santa Cultrera. Giuseppe's sister Emanuela married Santa's brother Paolo. I was able to find Santa and Paolo's death records on Ancestry, but I have not been able to find Giuseppe or Emanuela's. Giuseppe seemingly died sometime after 1930 while Emanuela died sometime before 1920. I can't seem to find any information on Giuseppe or Emanuela and would appreciate any help in discovering the names of their parents. Thanks.

This looks like an old post - not sure if it's still being monitored. My great-grandfather, Sebastiano Tine' was born in Palazzolo Acreide in the 1860s. He was the son of Salvatore Tine' and Sebastiana Pappalardo. He had a brother, Concetto Tine' who immigrated to the US (Lawrence, Mass.) Sebastiano died in Siracusa in 1906. His wife and children all came to the US. I'm interested in finding out more about siblings and parents of Sebastiano Tine'.

Re: Birth and death records Lentini, Siracusa

NanciCosey — 2012-07-28 16:50:57Z

Jay, the LDS church is now uploading transcriptions of the microfilm to the internet. Siracusa is not yet uploaded (as of last week when I last checked). However, I've used their microfilms to trace my Cosentino line back to 1754. They do not provide them to individuals, but do rent them out to local LDS Family History Centers. Find one closest to you and ask the folks there to help you locate the films you want and order them from SLC. It takes about a week to get them. You can 'rent' them by the 15-day period or on the 3rd rental, they are considered on permanent loan and the History Center keeps them on file.

Re: Birth and death records Lentini, Siracusa

ncimino1 — 2012-07-16 17:15:33Z

You can order microfilm from your local LDS Family History center or you can see some of the records on Ancestry.com. I can do look ups for you on Ancestry.com or order the microfilm and do the lookups for you if you would like. If interested contact me at ncimino@hotmail.com.

My grandmother was born in Carlintini, Sicily in 1889. Her name was Maria M. Miloni. We are doing a family tree and would certainly like to have more information about Maria.

She came to America in 1908 with her sister Nunziatha.

Her parents were Luciano Miloni and Alfia Tribulato. We would like to know who her other relatives were.

Any information would be appreciated!

Thank you, Bette Constantino Kavalec
