Re: Cea Family From Bari

Hello Betty, my grandfather Guiseppe Cea came from a town in Bari called Gromo, I believe he emigrated from Italy in 1906 and moved to New York city, East 6th Street (where most of the Italian immigrants moved to at the time). I do know he had brothers, though he died in 1977 in Brooklyn where he raised 9 children. Upon moving to the United States he became an iceman, and then went into the junk business, scrap metal etc. He did well for himself considering he spoke very little English and had no formal education. All of his children were/are healthy and lived long fruitful lives, with many children of their own.

Not sure if one of his brothers was Michael, but its safe to say that the name Cea is not very common now, so it surely wasn't common close to 100 years ago, point is, I'm sure that all of the Cea's from Bari were related in some fashion.

I hope this helped you put some of the pieces together - for more info you can reach me at Rob.m.cea@gmail.com
