Hi, My grandfather's name was Matteo Ferraro, born December 2,1879, around Syracusa, Sicily, Italy. He had brothers that emigrated to Argentina, because of a famine that killed most of the cattle they raised. He emigrated to the United States around 1907, (possibly with a sister named Mary) and lived in Chicago, Illinois. He loved to garden and worked as a grocer and for the railroad. He was a very good cook. He married a Biagia Rizzo in Chicago, also from Syracuse, 14 yrs his junior.
