Hi italianangel333.

We are related! Do you know anything about the di Leonardo side? Or the Navarro side?

Your grandfather is my great, great grandfather (I think). There are so many people with the same name in the family. Is this the Francesco Bruscemi who was married to Teresa di Leonardo and also Tura Verca (thats the name I have from my grandmother's records). They had at least one child together named Vincenzo.?

I'd love to talk more.
