I viewed your post with interest. I am fairly new to ancestry.com and searching for some answers. My grandfather was Marcello Ippolito from the Collansano area of Sicily. He was born around 1868 or 1869 and came to USA around 1899 and settled in lower Manhattan. His wife was Antonina Leone (born in late 1870's) from Scalfani area who came to USA in 1904. They had 3 children, Angelo, Rosaro and Gaetano (Thomas) born 1910, 1911 and 1913. The 3 children were born on the Lower East Side of NY. Any and all info would be welcomed.
