I am tying to find if Carmela D Andrea and Santo La Rosa Had A daughter named Giovannina. They did have a daughter named Mary La Rosa born 2/9/1866 ( February ) I have an old photograph with an old women. I don't know who she is. Here is the letter below . My mother had it and I think it belonged to her mother Mary La Rosa, Mary, Married a Jackco? Maisano, Then a Stephano Provindenti



"Dear Daughter,

I took this photograph in the morning, right when I woke up (got out of bed) by a photographer who happened to pass by/outside/in the street who took the photos and immediately gave the photos out. Right when I saw him, I decided to get dressed quickly and take the photo because your sister Giovannina had been asking for a long time that I take this photo, but since I can no longer travel to Messina, I cannot, but now…..I was able to……. this occasion, …I have ……… the desire, maybe the last one to……."

Upside down/top right side of postcard:
"Many kisses, your mother, 86 years old"

I am not sure where they are from. I have My great grandmother death cert. Said that her Mother was Carmela D Andrea and Her father was Santo La Rosa, I have two translation of a letter and in the letter she writes about not being able to go "Down"to Messina any more because of her age. (86) Messina and Palmero is all the info I have from my family. (No marriage act )

I found where a Giacomo Maisano on 10/4/1901 63 yrs Last place of Residence: Settasghanta??? I could not find Settasghanta ? Maybe it's Settingiano? Giacomo was going to see his wife Maria in New York. Giacomo was married to a Maria La Rosa date of birth 2/9/1866 . In the letter I have, my mother said it was Grandma La Rosa, she wrote she could not travel DOWN to Messina to see her daughter Gannovinna SP? Because of her age. How do I find out if
caremla D Andrea and Santo La Rosa had a daughter Maria La Rosa and Gannovinna La Rosa and if Maria La Rosa Married Giacomo Maisano. I was guessing they were from Messina but with the record of Giacomo that I found maybe I was wrong.
Maybe Giacomao was from Settingiano? I don't have any info on his parents. Thank You, Margaret Mary
