Hi,

I am trying to start my family tree. My grand
father was Giuseppe Cefalu. He came to America in the 1800's from Portichello, Sicily. Does anyone have any information?

This is pretty old, but I may have information on Giusseppe Cefalu

Hi! I'm really surprised to hear that someone knows something about that surname, I was told my ancestors are from Cefalu. I'd like to know more and get in touch with you.

Hi, My grandfathers name was Bartolomeo Cefalu`. He was born in 1900 on an island off the coast of Sicily called Isola di Salina. I think it was a pretty common name. When we came through Ellis Island they mistook the accent mark above the u for the dot in the letter i and our name was changed by a clerk to Cefali. I visited Salina last April and picked up his birth and baptism certificate.
