Raymond (Raimondo) Cala -- San Cataldo, 1911

Surnames: CALA/BORRUSO/RUSSO/GRANATA
Seeking information regarding Raymond (Raimondo) Cala, b. San Cataldo, Sicily, 10 Oct 1893, arr. US 29 Jan 1911. Raymond evidently was part of the large contingent of Sicilian miners who came to the US and worked in the mines at Pittston, PA, in the first couple of decades of ht 20th Century. He married Salvatrice (Katy) Burruso (alt. spelling Borruso), b. Montedoro, Sicily, abt. 1900, before 1921, when my father-in-law, Salvatore, was born. If I'm looking at the correct Ellis Island record, Salvatrice, shown as Salvatia in the record, arrived in the US on 21 Dec 1903 at the age of 2 and in company with her older sister Rosa, age 5.

I believe I've exhausted all the reasonably available records, but am interested in whatever bits, pieces, tidbits and teasers anybody might have and I'm pretty sure my father-in-law would be delighted to learn of close relations on either the Cala or Borruso sides of his line.

Thanks in advance for any information might be provided.
