Looking for info on the RISCILI family of Vicari, Sicily
My great grandfather, Michelangelo Riscili, came to the US from Vicari. He was born in Vicari in 1886. He married Jennie BONGIORNO (who I also think is from Vicari). I believe that Michelangelo's father's name was Giorgio and his grandfather's name was Giuseppe. I also believe that he had a sister named Francesca (born 1888?) and a brother named Giuseppe (born 1884?). Other than that, I don't have much information. I would love to find out more information about his ancestry and any other Bongiornos or Riscilis that are still in the area. Can anyone help out?
Thanks!

Re: Looking for info on the RISCILI family of Vicari, Sicily
Thank you both so much... this is absolutely awesome! I can't believe how much info you have given me in such little time.
Marty - I had my great grandmother's maiden name as Bongiorno - you listed it as Borgiorno... are you sure that I have it wrong? (it's very possible)

Biff - that is the same date of birth that I had for Jennie Bongiorno so I think that's the winner!
Again - thanks to both of you.. you have made my day, big time!

I don't suppose either of you would be willing to translate the entire birth record of Michelango would you? I don't know Italian and am very intrigued as to what the rest of the record says....
