Looking for Pertusiello in San Mauro Forte

Post by spert26 »

My grandfather, Stefano Pertusiello, left San Mauro Forte at the age of 24 in 1903 aboard the Equitpa(?)for NY. He lived in both Connecticut and NY and married Rose Tricarico. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Steve Pertusiello (named after my grandfather who died before I was born)
