Pagura Surname, Castions di Zoppola

[pagura]

Hello everyone. I'm an Argentinian with strong italian roots and I will aprecciate any help regaring my genealogy.
This is the little I know about my ancestors:

Grandfather: Pietro Pagura (Pedro Pagura in Argentina)
He was born in Castions di Zoppola, Friuli Venezia Giuli, in 1905.
He emigrated to Argentina between both wars.

Great Grandfather: Antonio Pagura (I don't know exactly the italian translation)

I will search more in the next days and try to keep this post updated. Any help will be great!

Diego, from Argentina

Hi Diego,

Did you have any success tracking down info on your family?

My grandfather was also from Zoppola and born around 1905. His name was Giovanni Batista Pagura, and emigrated to the US in 1922.

(Thanks for the great info Trish)
