I am researching my g.grandmother, Antoinette Petralia [born 1860-1870's.]. She married Carmello Joseph Tessitore [born 1860's?]. Both were from Palermo probably married there in the 1890's. Their 4 children were born in New Orleans, the first in 1897. The Tessitore family had a grocery store for many years in New Orleans. The children are John, Beatrice, Joseph, Fina [Josephine].
Does any of this sound familiar?
