Street Name in Terrasini

Post by xz5bz9 »

Does someone know if the street names in Terrasini have changed since 1889? I have an address at Via Delisi (?) in 1889, but do not see that street name on a google map today.

We just returned from Sicily and discovered an interesting fact. The street name on my grandfather's birth certificate was not actually the street. It was the name of the house that he lived in. Delisi was the owner. So, his birth record said his residence was Via Delisi. The actual street name was Via Danta Alighieri. It appears not much has changed in Terrasini since my grandfather was born there in 1889.

Hi,
My grandfather, Rosario DeLisi, was from Terrasini...so was my father, Dominic DeLisi. I've been trying to contact some DeLisi's in Terrasini...but don't know where to start. I just happened on your post by accident.
So...by any chance did you meet any DeLisi's while you were in Terrasini??? Any more importantly, did you get anyone's email address.
I know this post is a couple of years old...I'm just hoping you will get this message.
Thanks,
Roz DeLisi
