Hi Kathleen. My grandmother was a Southern CA Piuma. She was born in CA US (I don't have info with me, but it was around 1889 or so), but her father was born in Italy--I believe. I am presently doing some research on this side of my family and will keep you in mind and let you know if I uncover any next steps. I think that my family came from a town near Milano. What area in PA is your family from? Look forward to hearing back from you.
