Hi, My name is Christopher Gebbia. I live in Merrick NY. (on long island) As far as I know my family came from Agrigento, Sicily. Farmers of olives and Almonds my Grandfather had 13 brothes and sisters that stayed behind. My great grandmother passed away during child birth in Sicily and her husband married again to have more children. I belive his name was Guiseppi (forgive me if I spelled that wrong) My Grandfather, came over alone at age 17 to America and ended up in Pa. where he worked odd jobs before moving to Brooklyn, 904 Putnam ave. My Grandfather started his own business and retired up-state NY., Pleasant Valley where he lived to the ripe age of 94. His son Vincenzo, is my father and still living on Long Island NY at the age of 80, my uncle, Pasqualle (they called Pat) passed away when I was very young, and his sister, my aunt Julia (who's real first name is unknown to me) is still living in Florida at the age of 86. I know I have family in Belgium who I believe was Pasqualle, my grandfathers brother, though we never met.
