Now I need information on Piazza from MARY C PUSATERI's side... How does PUSATERI connect to my PIAZZA? See below for information... When I was young, I was told that Rinella ( Pusateri ) was related to Piazza, Cousins?... I remembered when I took my 1966 Ford Mustang to Antone Rinella's auto body shop in San Jose, CA, my parents told me that Antone was the cousin... Years later, I digged up the family tree papers and fed data into my internet family tree ( Ancestry.com ) and found more surnames that I am trying to fit into my family tree...

My Piazza's side are:

Grandfather: Salvatore Piazza
b. 16 August 1878 - Trabia

Need names of his siblings

Grandmother: Teresa Di Vittorio

Siblings: Mary (Born: 1884, Died: 23 January 1917) married to Philip Thomas Sansone (Born: 1880 Italy, Died: March 1945 Chicago ) His mother is Coponati (maiden name)

My ancestors came from Trabia, also. Giuseppe Piazza, b. 1847 and wife Marianna Trapani, b. 1849 came here in 1903 and settled in Pa. Later moving to San Francisco, ca. The info on Giuseppe's death certificate has his parents names Ignazio Piazza and Rosa Balestrieri. Do any names ring a bell?

thanks!

My Grandmother was Carmela Pusateri Sansone. Her sister's were married to Pizza's, Stella's, and Demma's. Anyone out there related to these Pusateri sisters? Some moved from Termini Imerese to Harrisburg PA and others came to Canada.
