Erin,

We are probably distantly related -- I am also related to Siracusa's and Carco's, all from Mineo!

My family tree is at www.leonardociampa.com/albero.html My grandmother was Grazia Siracusa. Her parents were Emmanuela Spitalieri (1888-1938) and Mario Siracusa (1882-1926). The Spitalieri's and Siracusa's lived across the street from each other in Mineo. They were married there around 1905. Their first son, Giuseppe, was born in 1906. Then Mario went to South America for about 7 years. He returned, and in 1913 my grandmother was conceived. The family sailed to America in the spring of 1914; my grandmother was born in Boston July 19, 1914.

Emmanuela's mother was Antonia Carco, who was born around 1870. She came to East Boston as a widow in the mid 1930s and lived with Emmanuela and her children. Antonia died there (East Boston) in 1936 or '37. Her husband was Nunzio Spitalieri.

Meanwhile, Mario Siracusa, my great-grandfather, did have a brother Antonio. His wife's name was Beppina (Josephine). In fact I can tell you all the Siracusa's names:

1. Beppo (never came to America)
2. Pino -- wife's name, Anna
3. Mario (my great-grandfather)
4. Antonio -- wife's name, Beppina
5. Luigi -- wife was called Geni (accent on i)
6. Salvatore (never came to America)
7. Gioanno (never came to America)

That's about all I know, except that Antonia's mother's maiden name was Limoli.

Best regards,

Leonardo Ciampa
