Hello,
My name is David Angelo Peragine, My grandmother Carina (Clara) Peragine came to America (NY) in 1944 with her parents Rosa, and Michele Peragine from Grumo Appula, Bari. Michele Peragine traveled back and forth from New York and Bari for work, and I believe the first time he came to the united states was in 1907. My grandmother Clara came to America at the age of 18 with her parents and siblings: Lillian, Christina, Vito, Jockomo, Nicholas, and others (Don't know their names). I am sure that any Peragine from bari, especially Grumo Appula has to have some link, especially since I have traveled to Bari and successfully found some of my distant relatives, and also discovered that Peragine is not a popular name that many familles have.
Thank you Ciao
