My great grandfather, Tomaso Molina, born 1877 in Morfasso, Piacenza or Lanchanca? and immigrated in 1909 to settle in South Glastonbury, CT. His wife Maria (Casali), also born in Morfasso, Piacenza, and daughter, Angela, would follow him in 1910.
At least this is my understanding. Looking for more information, or guidance, on where to go looking for more information.
Maria Casali's father's name was Guiseppe (Joseph)

Re: Molina and Casali families: Morfasso, Piacenza
Hello: My name is David Casali and we have lived in Glastonbury, CT for 32 years. When we arrived in 1984, I knew of other Casali's in town, (a somewhat rare name in the USA), and I believe Angela and Maria were their names. I believe I have a copy of one of their obituaries that I have kept and would be happy to send it to you. By the way, I have traced my Italian ancestors back to the year 1739, all living in the Morfasso area. Specifically Sperongia, a small hamlet called Labe and a hillside called Brandolino. My Casali family lived in Brandolino for hundreds of years making the research less time consuming. If you send me your info, I will did up the obit and send it to you.
