Looking for help -- Caniglia

[BCialino]

Looking for help searching the last name of Caniglia..

My great grandmother's name is Mary Ann Caniglia, and I know that her parents names are Gaetano Caniglia and Lucia...

I am told that the last name of Lucia is Saitta, however when I look up records I can only find record of Lucia Monico, and I am told that is the wrong one. Also, I know that must not be correct because Lucia Monico was born in 1895, and that would mean she had my great grandma when she was around 12. And my great grandma was the middle children by a few years.

They are from Carlentini, Sicily and their family went to Omaha, Nebraska.

It appears that this Gaetano 'Americanized' his name to Joe?

Hi Valarie, the records that you found are abt another Gaetano "Joe" Caniglia; the Gaetano "Tom" Caniglia married at Lucia Monico (Monaco right) was born in 1898:

Gaetano "Tom" Caniglia
Birth 10 Jan 1898 in Carlentini, Siracusa, Sicilia, Italy
Death 1957

Lucia or Louisa "Louise" Monico
Birth 12 Jun 1895 in Carlentini, Siracusa, Sicilia, Italy (Immigrated 9 Dec 1913)
Death 1959

if the Lucia arrival is the right arrival, she was born in 1892/3... really...

Hey suanj !
Thanks
I was trying to find a 'Mary Ann Caniglia' in Omaha without much success.
I think the Gaetano that I found (born abt 1888) was joining his cousin Gaetano Caniglia in Omaha - from a 1907 ship manifest.
Big Hug
