Thank you, each and everyone for your help.

A couple of days ago, I just found out that my Grandmother had another sister. I posted a message on Italian Genealogy, asking for help and you all have come through with information. Even with names misspelled.

You are all, so awesome, thank you so much.

There was another Leoluca Trombatore born in 1888 in Corleone who died in or around New Orleans in 1963. Any relation?
