Sposito of Shenandoah, PA
My great Grandparents are George (abt 1878 or 1870) and Angeline (Mancuso) Sposito (abt 1876). They settled in Shenandoah, PA. Their children were Anthony (1899 my Grandfather), Frank, Lizzie and Joseph (Esposito). Their given name was Esposito and all but Joseph americanized it to Sposito. Frank, Liz and Joseph settled in the Gary, IN area as adults. Liz also lived in Texas. George may have been born in Siliano, Italy. I think he came here before his family by way of Brazil. Angeline came over with Anthony along with her sister Rose Mancuso Ritzo (rizzo) later. Angeline died in 1918 and George remarried Mary Miola and had another 6 children. I am looking for hints as to how to trace George's family back to Italy and also the Mancuso family. I have tried to find records on George's arrival here but cannot locate anything on him. They could also have been from Scigliano, Cosenza, Italy. Any tips would be appreciated. It would be great if anyone out there actually had any pictures.
