I am looking for information on my Grandmother's family. She was born in Brooklyn in 1931. Her father was Giuseppe Phillip D'Ambra, born in Sicily in 1899. When he was 7 he was sent with an older cousin to the United states and they were going to live with an uncle when they got here (whether it was the cousin's father or a different uncle I do not know) His parents never came from Italy, but they did continually send children to the united states. Their names are Marina and Francesco D'Ambra (I do not know Marina's maiden name)

He met my Great Grandmother Marina Luongo in Brooklyn. Marina was 11 when she came over to the United States, she was born in Naples in 1897.
She came to the United States in 1910 with her mother Anna (surname Napoli?)b1874-d@1936 and her 2 sisters- Grace (Grazia)b1899, Elvira (Elbira)b1901. Her Father, Francesco Luongo b 1870-d@1941 came over 5 years earlier in 1905. After coming to the United states they had 4 more daughters- Lillian b1914, Helen b1916, Elizabeth born 1919 and Nancy b after 1920, but I'm not sure when.

My grandmother grew up in brooklyn- on 22nd st between 5 and 6. She had 4 brothers, Francesco b1924, Alberto b1926, Antonio b1929, and Robert b1936
