HI,
My parents are from San Nicola, I am first generation here in the US. What a beautiful town, I spent many summers there with my grandmother and other relatives.
Both my parents are from San Nicola, so who knows we are probably related in some way. My mother's maiden name is Galati.
I will contact my parents and ask them about your family.
Talk to ya soon Angela

Hi my name is Renee Simpson. My granmother was Kathryn Lockington (Cina). I have been wanting to put a family history together for a long time. Before grandma had passed she gave me a number of photos along with information on the family. Love to get the family book started. Just for those who may not know we have a Cina Family Reunion every year on Fathers Day.

Re: Cina from San Nicola da Crissa
Rose, Gregorio and Valenzia were my grandparents of blessed memory. My mother is Jean. Kathryn (Kits), also of blessed memory, was my aunt. Her grandchildren have been so good and loving to my mother. I was happy to learn our great grandfather's name. Judy Mosier Thompson

Rose, Maddie Holst's first husband was Joseph Cosentino. My mother said that he was a relative, whether to the Cinas or Malfaras I do not know. She had two children, twins. The girl died at birth and the little boy weeks later. Judithe M
