I have been researching my family. Now I have begun on my husband's family.
I do not have a lot of info. We believe they came over in the 1900's from Naples to Ellis Island. Settled New York/CT region.
Lucio Salvatore Salerno son of
Salvatore "Sam" Salerno & Philomena Tambourino.
Lucio married Jennie Reitano daughter of
Francesca Crea and Mariani Reitano
Their Children: Thomas, Paula, Joseph Antionette, Minerva, Frances, Mary, Jennie.
Jennie married Lucio Salvatore Salerno (1910-1977)
Children: Carole & Louis
Lucio Salvatore Salerno son of
Salvatore "Sam" Salerno & Philomena Tambourino.
Believe that Salvatore's father was a science professor at a University in Italy near Naples his wife was a dressmaker with a successful storefront (from what I understand, unusual for that period in time)
