Hello,
I have an ancestor also from Apriglliano Calabria with the last name of Elia. Her name was Gabriella Elia born 1856-1916 she was married to Rocco Galdi. I think her parents where Giuseppe Elia and Tommasina Garredi. However I'm not sure of that because that is where the linage turns cold. Any information you might have on Elia would be much appreciated! Thank you!
