Surnames: Geraci, Maida, Cecola, Anselmo
My husbands grandparents were :
Nicholas (Nocasio) Geraci who came to US (NY) in 1900 at age 13 with a sibling.
he married Giovanina Cecola who came to US in 1908 at age 11 with her Dad.
His great grand parents were:
Joseph Geraci and Rose Maida (children: Vincent, Sebastian, George, Nicholas, Antonette, Giovanina, Concetta, Francesca Paula) and
Theodore Cecola and Vincenza Anselmo (children: Lucy, Joseph, George, Giovanina, Frank, Salvatore)
ALL of them are originally from a town called Caccamo, which is a province of Palermo, Sicily. This is all I have. Any information out there?

My husband's great aunt Catherine married a Geraci in Portland Oregon. Catherine Cancilla Geraci was from Sicily and immigrated with two brothers, Dominic and Salvatore "Sam". Any relation?

If you could provide names and dates perhaps you will get some response. My Geraci connection is from Termini Imerese, Palermo. My great grand mother Rosa Geraci was born 6Jan1847. Her parents were Salvadore and Maria Lombardo.

May be related! My grandfather was Salvatore (Sam) Geraci who left Caccamo with his Brother, not sure of name. He settled in Philadelphia. Spelling of last name changed either erroneously at Ellis Island or I hear on purpose by his son(s) to Gerace. Look forward to hearing from you.

Salvatore was my Grandfather. I remember my Dad mentioning his uncle Andrew in New Jersey. My Dad has another son by a previous marriage and fathered a son who he named Salvatore. Somehow, the name Geraci was changed to Gerace.
