Here is what I know about my family...I am specifically interested in finding any Nicifores in Italy...I'm pretty sure the name was misspelled when he came to Canada, my step grandfather told me it was spelled N'ceforo...I've checked out the Ellis Island site, and there was a Nicolo Niceforo who came across, but I don't know how to go further than that. My Dad told me there were over 20 children in my Grandfather's family, so I'm pretty sure that there must be some left in Italy. One of the brothers was a cardinal in the Catholic Church, the father I think was Joseph, and owned a flour mill which he gave to this son as a sort of dowry for the church. I later was told that Nicolo's name was Cosmo, but that he never used it.
