My names Kathrine Vacanti,
My dads name is William Vacanti as known as Bill or Whitey. My dads Grandad originated from Palermo, Italy. With the name 'Vacanti'.
I'm looking for the 'Vacanti' family crest or maybe any other family related to us?
I know for a fact that my family is HUGE & I haven't met 95% of the 'Vacanti's.

Re: Kathrine Rose Vacanti
Hi, My name is Wiliam Vacanti from Fredonia, NY My fater was Joseph and his father was William from Vallelunga Sicly. I am 57 years old and my granndfather came to NY around 1922. Not sure but I would assume we ARE related also.

Re: Kathrine Rose Vacanti
Wow, well we both have family from Italy & we are the only Vacanti's it seems ( there are others but very very few), so I figure we must be related! This is awesome.

Re: Kathrine Rose Vacanti
HAHA my dad is all excited, he would like to add again that, after my great grandfather got off the boat in the late 1800s- early 1900s, they moved to long island & worked on potato farms. Later my grandfather became a baker, & worked for Fink Bread in New York City. My dad was born in New York city in 1947, in east Harlem, 2nd Ave.

Re: Kathrine Rose Vacanti
Not that I am aware of, I have been trying to get information about what ship our relations came over on through the Elis Island web site. Also just FYI ther are many many Vacantis' here in Western N.Y., Buffalo, Grand Island, Westfield, Brocton, Silver Creek and so on. I will start to look for "Our" Family Crest" also.
