Hi, I have had little luck in finding my Lagana family history until I found a letter on this site from Brandilyn Russell.I hope the information I have is who you are looking for. My mother's maiden name is Lagana. Her mother was Angelina Perrone married to Anthony Lagana. They were from Reggio, Calabria. I'm quite sure his brother's name was Frank. I have no information on their coming to this country but I know it had to be at the beginning of the century because my mother was born in 1912.Her father, Anthony, died in 1913 when she was a year old and is buried in St. Perer's cemetery in Danbury, Connecticut. He died at a young age after an alcohol poisoning after returning from a wedding. My mother never knew him and somehow never had any information on him. I know there are Laganas living in Middletown, Connecticut who own a flower shop. I spoke to them at one time but they did not know too much on family history. Any information will be appreciated.
