Paolo .. my great grandparents were Salvatore Joseph Sciandra and his wife Maria Petix. They went to Pittston, PA and became citizens in 1893. After that they moved to Buffalo, NY and their children were relocated from Montedoro to Buffalo by Maria Licata. Their parents were Giovanni Sciandra and Calogera Mantione. I'm told that the original Sciandra's came from Spain. That they were part of the royal court but did something that upset the king and were banished to Sicily. And, that the name was spelled differently. Do you know anything about this story ??
