Looking for my Sclafani link back to Sciacca, Sicily

Hi All,

I'm trying to find my "Sclafani" link back to Sciacca, Sicily.

I can only go as far back as my grandparents Martino (Pete) Sclafani and Margaret Sclafani (born in NYC). Their children are Aurielo (Larry) Sclafani and Accucio [spelling ???] (Gus) Sclafani. Aurielo is my father. I lost touch with my uncle & his family after my father's death.

My grandfather Martino's family consisted of the following:
- Charles (adopted children)
- Anthony (No Children)
- Johnny (Don't believe there were any Children)
- Katherine (No Children)

I know that prior to my grandparents moving to East Rockaway, NY, they lived on Elizabeth Street in NYC. I'm not sure if my great grandparents were born here or in Sicily. I do know that the family did migrate from Sciacca.

I also know that my great uncle (Anthony Sclafani) was highly decorated during World War I. I was left his Distinguished Service Cross and know that he was awarded a medal from the French gov't as well. I'm currently trying to gain more information on my uncles military record from the US Gov't as I do not remember all the details to his stories from when I was a young child.

I would like to know if anyone out there has any information linking my family members back to Sciacca, Sicily? or information relating to Anthony Sclafani?

Thanks for your time!

Matt Sclafani
