My great grandfather Salvatore de Vincenzo of Chefalu
My great grandfather is Samuel Salvatore Saia, born in Cefalu 21 Jan 1884 to Raffaele Saia + Maria Grazia (Di Stefano). Their son Ralph was my grandfather, and I’m trying to learn more about them.
The 1900 census shows that Samuel at age 12 came over from Italy with Raffaele age 46 together (1896).
I am in Cefalu. My great grandparents were Rosa Ranzino and Pasquale T Sapienza. Born in late 1800’s in Cefalu. Died in Cape a Girardeau, MO USA. I have birth records and also baptismal records from Cefalu. I would love to know where they lived when they were here. Left 1912 to St Louis, MO. My grandmother, Maria Carrie Sapienza, born 1920. Most of the family I have found went to Baltimore, Maryland.
I am looking for relatives of my grandmother, Concetta Rosso, born around 1888, died in Buffalo, New York in 1929. Coming to Cefalu, Sicily in October, 2023.
I am looking for my maternal grandmother’s ancestors. Her name was Philomene Di Crispino, she was born in New Orleans, LA. Her parents were Salvatore Di Crispino and Maria Piazzo. I thing Savatore was born about 1871 in Cefalu. He and Maria had 3 children, Maria, Vincent, and Philomene. When their children were grown, they returned to Cephalu and died there in the 1940s. I think Savatore’s father was Cincenzo and his mother was Maria Piazzo and I think that maria Brocat’s parents were Phillippo Brocato and Philomene Pollizota, but I’ve not been able to substantiate this. Does anyone have any information about these ancestors. Thank you.
I was born in 1942 to father Frank Patrick Sansone of New Roads, Louisiana USA, born 1915; son of Antonio ‘Johnny’Sansone born in Cefalu, Sicilia.
My mother was Rose Margaret Fertitta born 1917 in Cleveland, Mississippi, to Andrew Vincent Fertitta born 1890, and Marie Nunzia Sansone born 1899 in Cefalu.
Looking for information regarding a John Papa born 1880 in Cefalu. Family is traveling this spring and would love information. Thank you in advance.
I’m looking for info on my husbands father side of the family. We don’t know much but here’s what they do know…His great grand parents immigrated from Palermo around 1913. Salvatore “sam” Serio (1-11-1878-1937) and his wife Sarah (Brocato) Serio (1895-1975). We think his parents were Charles and Lucy Serio and her parents were Carmelo Brocato and the wifes maiden name was D’anna. Sam and Sarah lived in Shreveport Louisiana where I’m told they had a grocery store for many years. They had 11 children and one of those was Theresa “Tootie” Ann Serio Willis.(1923-2010) We were told there is still family in the area of Palermo and would love to find them before our trip
I know a Serio
Hello TIna,
I have a very distant relative in my family tree as follows that might connected to you: Carmelo Illuminato Brocato, born about 1865, Cefalu; died after 1890 (on further details).
Vincenzo Serio 1800-1838 was a great-great-great grandfather of mine. He married Rosa Citrano 1810-1838 and they had one child Concetta Serio 1838-1895. Concetta married Ignazio LaMartina, my name as well
Concetta & Ignazio LaMartina are my great-great grandparents, which makes Vincenzo Serio also my great-great-great-grandfather. Concetta and Ignazio both died in 1985 – which I find strange given the notoriously bad actors who ruled over southern Italy during those dark days of “TERRONI” (read the book by the same name). One of their sons, Pasquale (Cefalu, 1867-1957), immigrated to Baltimore, MD in 1894 where he and his wife Giuseppa D’Aquilla gave birth to a son, my great-grandfather Charles, for whom I am named after. Charles lived in the US until his death in 1964.
I’m trying to get information on family in Cefalu, Sicily by the surname of Lusco. This was my great grandparents last name. My grandmother’s maiden name was Marsiglia. Her husband was either Vincenzo or Salvatore Lusco. They had 3 daughters, Concetta, Francesca and Rosaria. My grandmother came to the U.S. with her daughter’s and their families but not with my grandfather and I’m not sure if he died or stayed in Cefalu for business reasons, that was never made clear. I don’t think any of my relatives still living in Cefalu know that there are family members n the United States that are so very anxious to find them.
There is a Lusco family still living in Greenwood, Mississippi. Checkout Lusco’s restaurant.
My SIcilian relatives lived in MS. I have not heard of Lusco but will check the place out
Just saw this, my mother was a Lusco in Greenwood Ms Yes there is a well established & well known restaurant there known as Lusco’s operating for about 80 years. Unfortunately I believe its last night of operation is tonight and operated by my 3rd cousin who does not have the Lusco surname. I do have more information but will have to take time to pull it together again. My mother’s maternal grandparents were Giovanni Greco and Anna Cicero & her father was Antonino Lusco & her mother was Rosa Theresa (nee) Greco. The did immigrate to the US around the turn of the 20th century. I have been to Cefalu and visited with Greco cousins there but have never been able to find any Luscos in Cefalu recently. I lived in Greenwood most of my life until 5 years ago but my last name is not Lusco.
I had recently replied, but may have sent it to another person in error. My mother’s maiden name was Lusco from Greenwood, MS. I have more information that will take me some time to pull together, if you are interested in hearing more ?
Hello Maria, I have a very distant relative in my Family Tree as follows: Carmela Antino Lusco, born 8 May 1909, Louisiana, USA; Died 3 October 1994, buried in Metairie Cemetery, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. , Memorial ID #100498048. Married (1930) Martin Thomas Russo (1904-1968). Maybe Carmela is related to your family.
For Maria & Sandy,
Four Lusco brothers in Mississippi immigrated from Cefalu, Sicily through New Orleans in 1902. They lived a few years in Louisiana near Thibodaux and Lake Charles. They were Charles, Frank, Tony (Antonino), and Joseph (Giuseppe) who died by accident in Louisiana not long after immigrating to the USA. The surviving 3 brothers soon moved to the Greenwood, Leflore, County Mississippi area. On visiting Cefalu and doing some family research, I discovered their surname in Sicily was actually Turco Lusco.
Looking for any info for Antonio Liberto born Feb 17 1878. He came to the U S in 1898. I have been told his parents were Raffaela and Susa Liberto
Looking for birth records for Frank Faraci, Sr born 11/20/1910 in Cefalu (parents Concetta and Cosimo Faraci). I am also trying to find birth records of his father, Cosimo Faraci, born 9/11/1874 in Cefalu.
I am looking for Marino’s Giuseppe came to america in 1892 but I can not locate any family left in the area. His parents names were Gioachino and Maria His wife was Mamie
I am looking for Carmelo Brocato born 18 Jun 1907 in Cefalu and died 24 Jan 1989 in Cefalu. He married Antonina Fertitta on 22 Sep 1923 in Cefalu. His parents were Antonino “Joe” C Bracato/Brocoto 1860-1942 & Concetta Biondo. None of these people came to America. Concetta’s parents were Antonino Biondo 1824-1903 and Salvatora Francesca Brocato 1834-1903. We are especially interested if Carmelo and Antonina had any children and their names & dates. We don’t know where any of them are buried. Some interesting facts or pictures would also be appreciated.
Ciao Susan io sono uno dei nipoti di Carmelo Brocato e Fertitta Antonia entrambi deceduti

Hello,
My relatives are from Palermo. I am looking for information on Salvatore/Samuel Calata Bianca and his wife, Concetta. They have two daughters Rose and Pauline.

I am also looking for information on the Adamese family, Julio and his son, Charles, both born in Palermo. Charles was born in 1903 and went to America in 1906. I am also looking for anyone in the Patanella family. James Patanella is my great-grandfather.
Any help is appreciated.
Karen
Hi,
I am trying to locate my father’s relatives and hope someone who reads this can help.
My father was born Pasquale Marino in Cefalu, Italy along with his brother Joseph. His father I believe was also named Giuseppi Marino and was a baker in the town of Cefalu. My grandmother’s maiden name was Concetta Lusco and her mother was Maria Lusco. My grandmother had a sister Francesca Lusco Armieri who married Giuseppi Armieri from Rosolini, Italy. They left Italy for the U.S. anywhere from 1911 – 1915 and settled in the Bronx, N.Y.. There were other members of their family who also settled in the U.S. but in different states.
I would love to find my family members if anyone is familiar with them or their existing relatives. Thank You
Hello,
I’m looking for some information on both the Piazza and Valenzia sides of my family from Cefalu.
Venera Valenzia – born 2/7/1878 to parents Concetta and Diago (or Diego) Valenzia
additional siblings – Andrew, Dora, Joseph, Rose, and Sam.
Venera left Cefalu around 1910?
Vincenzo Piazza born 1884 to Annunciata and Andrew (assume Andrea?) Piazza
other siblings: John, Sam, Joseph, Catherine, Josephine, and Benedicta
Vincenzo and Venera Piazza had Andrew (Andrea?) and Diago who both died in infancy in Cefalu, and Annunciata (born 1900-1905?) in Cefalu before they left and came to Baltimore, MD.
I’m told that Vincenzo’s mother ended up in Beaumont Texas but Vincenzo died in 1913 and we don’t know where any of the other siblings went in the US (texas presumably) or if any stayed in Italy!
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Theresa
Any information would be appreciated.
Hi Theresa, I don’t have information “downward” from Vincenzo and Venera but do have several generations “upwards”. Vincenzo Piazza (born 16 Feb 1884, Nati record #76) had parents Andrea Piazza and Nunzia La Martina (born ~1852 and ~1862 respectively, married 2 Aug 1882) and married Venera Valenza on 26 Nov 1903; she was born 3 Feb 1877 (Nati record #46) to Diego Valenza (b 29 Mar 1846) and Concetta Esposita (known as Catanese) b 29 Nov 1845, they were married 2 Oct 1871.
We are probably very distant cousins through Valenza’s – there were not many in Cefalù and I’m fairly sure they’re all part of one family line but still working to connect them up. As an interesting note the given name “Venera” (which was very rare in Cefalu) occurs associated with a Valenza all they way back before 1750, as daughter of a Natale Valenza 1692 referenced in the 1748 Rivelli (tax census records).
I am looking for a Samuel Serio that immigrated to the United States early in the 20th century. I believe he was born in 1884 in Cefalu.
Thanks
To the person “Jack” looking for a Samuel Serio from 8/18/2017 post: My deceased father fits your description. He came to the US from Cefalu in the early 1900s with his two sisters. We have no birth or baptism certificate for him but the date of his birth was always given as 1884. He died in 1958. Our family as been trying for years to find out the name of his mother and father but to no avail. Is there anyway you would let me know if you have any info as to what the names are for the Samuel Serio you are looking for? Thank you so much for any info you can provide.

I am researching my husband’s family on his mother’s side. She is a descendant of Luigi Tumminello and Concetta Barravecchia Tumminello. One of Luigi’s children was Beatrice and she became a nun. Any information available on her would be greatly appreciated— is she buried in Cefalu? What is the name of her order of nuns? Birth date, death date. Thank you!
Ciao!
Perhaps my ancestors were cousins? My great grandfather was Giuseppe Piraino ( 1864-1929) born in Cefalu Palermo and came to Baltimore MD. Married Josephine C. Piraino in 1895 and had 5 kids: Vincent, Tony, Josephine, Sarah, Mary. Initiated in an early census that there was listed a Salvatore Piraino/ Salvatore & Sons tailors. Both lived on Calvert St. He’s buried here at Holy Redeemer Cemetery and there is an Emanuele Piraino also – born 1860 same family crest and says father was Vincenzo- Baroni di Mandralisca. Stemma Ereditario coat of arms on both stones.

My Grandfather in Grille was born Gioachino Serio 8-11-1867, Wife Concetta Maria Geppi, Brother Carmelo Serio its names of sisters were Maria Serio and Jennie Serio.
My grandfather in Grille entered to United States or around the 1872
Ciao;
Il mio nome è Matteo Bowen ed io sto tentando di trovare i miei membri di famiglia che vennero da Cefalu.
Mio Nonno in Grata era Gioachino Serio sopportato 8-11-1867, Moglie Concetta Maria Geppi, Fratello Carmelo Serio I suoi nomi di sorelle erano Maria Serio e Jennie Serio.
Mio nonno in Grata entrò a Stati Uniti o circa i 1872
Hi Matteo, here is some information that may be helpful. I have translated all of the available Cefalu civil records referencing Serio’s (my grandfather was a Serio).
Gioachino was actually born 11 Aug 1865 from the Cefalu civil records, it was common for US and Cefalu birth dates to differ by exactly one or two years (but same day) for a number of reasons. His parents were Rosario Serio, b 10 Feb 1834, died 23 Dec 1901, and married Giovanna (Anna) Fertitta, with a late recording on 29 Jan 1886. The marriage record includes the names and birth dates of their children (including Gioachino). The children (from this and other records) were:
Santa Serio, b 29 Sep 1862 d 7 Jul 1864
Gioachino Serio, b 11 Aug 1865 d 19 Dec 1940
Maria Santa Serio, b 5 Sep 1868 d 8 May 1957 in Baltimore, married Battista Battaglia 1869-1957, with at least 8 children
Carmelo Serio, b 20 Oct 1872 d 28 May 1873
Carmelo Joseph Serio, b 9 Feb 1875, d 17 Apr 1954 in Baltimore, married Rosa Salvatora Carnaggio 1876-1971, with at least 8 children
Rosario comes from a line of Serio’s that used the dual surname “Serio Papa”. His parents were Cosimo Gioachino Serio Papa, b 1789-1803 d 27 Dec 1875, married Maria Santa La Martina on 28 Sep 1822, with children including Salvatore (Rosario) 13 Aug 1828-1901, Domenica ~1833-1837 – 1869, Giovanni ~1833-1841 – 1 May 1887, Rosario Giuseppe Alfonzo 10 Feb 1834 – 23 Dec 1901, and Pasquale 23 Aug 1839 – 11 Nov 1908.
Cosimo’s parents were Rosario Serio Papa b 1754-1757, d 17 Feb 1827, m Domenica Barranco, with children including Saverio 1782 – 12 Dec 1852, Salvatore ~1786-1786 – 19 Oct 1866, and Cosimo Gioachino as above.
Rosario’s parents were Saverio born around 1720 and Giuseppa Papa, probably born a few years later.
We are probably distant cousins through the Serio Papa’s; I have a *lot* of DNA matches pointing backwards through Rosario and Domenica, but haven’t been able to connect up exactly yet.
Regards,
Dennis

I am researching my parental grandparents; Vincent James “Jim” Barranco (born April 23, 1877) and his wife Giuseppina Marie (Amato) Barranco (born April 3, 1885) both born in Cefalu and married there on February 5, 1907. They came to America and arrived at Ellis Island on May 6, 1907.

Is Angelina Giordano one of your relatives?
What is your family name from Cefalu? My wife also had family that came to Baltimore in early 1900’s (LaScuola)
My grandfather, Joseph Pasquale Meranto was born in Cefalu, Palermo, Sicilia, Italy. Last name has been spelt 3 different ways in US census reports. (Maranto and Moranto). His father (my great grandfather) is Giuseppe Maranto and married Nicolina Maria Grazia Valenza.
My grandfather lived in New Orleans sold fruit.
I plan on making a trip next year to find relatives.
Ginger. I have all the information you need about the Maranto family. I’m the primary source for most of the information you will find on the internet. How can I help?
I will be traveling to Sicily next year and am interested in searching and possibly visiting the towns of my parents, Mazzara del Vallo and Cefalu. Also, Polizzi. Any information to help in my search?
We are descended from the di Cesare, di Giorgio, and D’Agostino families of Cefalu & Lascari. One family came in the 1890s and another in the early 1930s. Anyone related to those surnames?
Hello H. Cesare, My wife was born a Digiorgio, and her Digiorgio grandparents were both originally from Cefalu. They were Vincenzo (b: 4 July 1887) and Maria Benerito (b: 1 Mar 1890). They each emigrated to the USA and then may have married in Texas in 1906. Maria Benerito’s ancestry is unknown. Vincenzo Digiorgio’s parents from Cefalu were Salvatore (b: 1846) and Rosalia Emmitte (b: 1854). Salvatore and Rosalia were married in Cefalu on 30 January 1876.
BTW, my wife’s mother was born a Giordano, and her father was Francesco Giordano (b: 23 March 1875 at Filadelfia SW of Catanzaro).
Might any of this ancestral data link to your Digiorgios?
I am interested in some information about how it happens that so many families went from Cefalù to New Orleans. For example, did the ships go directly there or did they go first to New York and then did people travel to New Orleans. Is there a resource that discusses this? Also, I’d like some advice to try to learn what church they attended? We have no idea at all – just Catholic! Thanks.
Hi, I also have grandparents from Cefalu who went from Palermo directly to New Orleans, I can’t tell if anyone responded to you. So yes, when they purchased tickets they knew which port the ship was to go to. My grandfather was Domenico Cicero, he and his older brother Salvatore had been to the US before and came through NY. Evidently they liked the weather better in the South. My family were farming/grocery merchants. They worked what they knew best. After the Civil War, not a whole lot of people would work in the heat. Sicilians were used to it. The Mississippi Delta was fertile. They wanted to own land. Also there was a Society in NO whose members were from Cefalu, and they helped get family to the states.
Many Italians did go to New Orleans because it was a Catholic area and a major port city-my family came there from New York–quite a few Italians settled north of New Orleans at White Castle, Brusly Landing, & Plaquemine, LA. others settled near the town of Independence, LA–these are small towns for the most part–many who did not stay in New Orleans went thee.
Looking for relatives from Cefalu, my grandfather & his brother Sam came here in the late 1800’s early 1900’s. My grandmother was aslo from their her surname was Mormino. My grandfather was John Marino & my grandmaother was Mary Mormino. They were married at the church that comes up in all the Cefalu pic’s only know because my Grandma’s brother painted a pic of the church as a wedding gift.
Hi Barbara,
Those are my Great Grandparents. I just did a search looking up John Marino from Cefalu.
I am looking to find any relatives in cefalu italy. My great grandfather and grandmother came from there to America through new Orleans in early 1900′s.my last according to my papa’s birth certificate was degrespino or digrispino. It is spelled despino now. Any help would be great. Thanks
I am looking for specific names from Cefalu, Palermo, Sicily, Italy.
My Grandfather is Salvatore Sam Piraino born to Giovanni (John) Piraino and Rosa Marsiglia. They had 4 other children; Rosa, Maria, Rosaria, and Concetta. The family says he is born is Sant’Ambrogio.
Sam married Angela Cicero and they had 9 children; Rose, John, Angie, Conie, Charles, Sam, Marie, Emil, Louisa, and Margie. Angela’s parents are Pasquale Cicero and Angela Ilardo.
This is the only information I have. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Jasmine, I have information for your Pasquale Cicero and Angela Ilardo, found in the Cefalu civil records.
Pasquale was Pasquale Santo Cicero, born 1 Nov 1852. An extract of his birth record is in the Allegati supplemental files for his marriage in 1885. His parents were Stefano Cicero b~1821-1823 d 4 Sep 1894, and Angela Brocato, b ~1827-1829, d 26 Apr 1894, married 11 Jan 1852.
Pasquale’s grandparents were Fidele Cicero and Anna Cefalu, probably born ~1795; and Pasquale Brocato b~1796-1798 d 3 Aug 1850, and Rosaria Tamburo, b~1802-1803 d 7 Feb 1886.
Angela Brocato’s grandparents were Simone Brocato b~1758-1768 d 12 Apr 1842 and Angela Tumminello, and Nunzio Tamburo and Carmela Piazza.
Pasquale Brocato’s grandparents were Domenico Brocato and Anna Maria Abbate, and Parquale Tumminello and Arcangela Termini.
