hello Normandie,

my name is Calogero Lombardo, I am a citizen of San Cataldo (Caltanissetta).
In reality, surname Lombardo is widespread in Sicily, but Giambra in very typical in San Cataldo. The surname of my best friend is Giambra

how can I help you?

Thanks for your reply. I am trying to find out some information on my cousin's Mother's family. Her Mother's father was Vincenzo Giambra. He arrived in New York on 14 April 1901. The passenger list said he was from San Cataldo. According to his tombstone he was born in 1861 and died in 1920. My cousin says there is suppose to be family still in San Cataldo. His wife was Salvatrice Lombardo. She came to U.S. (New York) on 31 May 1902. Their children Cataldo, Antonio, Carmela and Salvatore came on same ship as their Mother. They all used last name, Giambra. Their port of departure was Naples but it listed San Cataldo as their last residence.

I would like to find out information on them, such as birth dates, marriage date, and if any relatives still in San Cataldo. My cousin may make trip to Italy this year and would like to go to San Cataldo. She has asked me to see what I can find out.

Any information or help you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks.

Since 2008, I live and work in Modena, I was in San Cataldo by my parents at Christmas....practically the emigration of Sicilians never stop since 1900!!! This is a sad reality :cry: :cry:

I will try someone (my brother or my friends called Giambra) that can go to municipal office to find information.
