Jeannie, I was looking on the message board because my son, David, is in Saracena trying to find connections to our roots as I write this. My grandmother and grandfather were from Saracena, Calabria, Italy. My grandfather was Fedele Tolisano - born Jan. 15 1890 in N.Y. and died Jan. 12, 1974 in Hartford, CT. His parents were Francesco Tolisano and Teresa Senatore from Saracena I believe. My grandmother was Dominica Alfano. She was July 22, 1892 in Saracena, Calabria, Italy and died Sept. 20, 1981 in Hartford, CT. Her father was Angelo Alfano and mother Mary Mandisa.
I could not help notice the Senatore from the same exact area. I hope this helps. If there is anything more you might be able to tell me, please do.
