I am looking for ANY information regarding Rosario (Roy) Cefalu born in Cefalu, Italy. (October 1865) His birth name was not Cefalu. He fled Italy (reason unknown) and adopted his birthplaces name as his own. He married a Papa and had a child. When that child was young his wife (Papa) died. Her sister Mary Papa was then sent to take care of her sister's family. Rosario and Mary married and lived in New Orleans/ Bogalusa, Louisiana and had 8 children. Rosario died in April of 1929.
I am trying to find out what his birth name was and why he fled Palermo. I have some information that his surname "could" be Bionca. But???? Any Help would be appreciated.Thanks
