Joe Must be one of my mother-in-law's brothers. I suspect he was born in Sicily. I think I remember her telling me that just the last three children of the nine were born in the states. Her father was Pietro Sferlazza/Sperlazza and her mother was Concetta Vento. They were married in Lercara Friddi, near Palarmo. Domenica Zagona and Giovanni Vento was Concetta's mother and father. Domenica died in Brazil during childbirth. The family had gone to Brazil for some reason. Think they went back to Sicily before coming to the states.
