My great grandmother's name was Concetta Lamagna. She was born c. 1867-69 in Italy. She was married to Giuseppe Esposito . She arrived in Boston on 6 June 1911 on the ship Romantic with her husband and family. Several of her sons (including my grandfather Umberto) came to the USA a few years earlier. They all settled in Providence, RI. Concetta died on 20 Jan 1932 at the age of 63.
Her father's name was Guiseppe and her mother's name was Maria (no maiden name known). My grandfather Umberto was born in the Naples area, but I remember my mother telling me years ago that someof our ancestors came from Palermo.
I am seeking any additional information on the Lamagna clan from Palermo, and advice on how to begin researching my particular branch of the family. I have had great success getting back hundreds of years with my paternal side, which is Azorean Portuguese. However, I am stuck getting back beyond the great grandparents on my Italian side.
Many thanks,
