Looking for info on Grandparents
Looking for info on Grandparents
Hi:
My grandparents (father's side) were born and raise in Caccamo, Sicily. The spelling of there last name somehow got changed on their entry into the USA.
My grandfather's name was : Filippo Cicala Birth date approx. 1874; Grandmother maiden name was:Nacasia Garifo, Birth Date approx. 1883
Any information would be appreciated. Like many individuals, I am trying to do a family geniology.

Hi and welcome to the forum,
Don't know if you already have it, but I am posting your grandparents' manifest for reference.
http://www.ellisisland.org/EIFile/popup ... &line=0025
They were travelling with his brother Giorgio and going to his brothers Mariano and Nicasio in Philly.
Looks like it is spelled Cecala on the original record and that is how it is filed on the Ellis Island site.

Sam,
Why don't you open a file on The Ellis Island site. Then you can save all the manifests you find and save and or print when yyou wish. The site is free (you just have to register)and is a wonderful resource. Look under passenger search. there are options to save your searches and to start a file.

Re: Looking for info on Grandparents
Sam,
I'm having no luck locating census records for Filippo, Nicosia and children. Did the family stay in Philadelphia or did they move someplace else? Do you know their chidlrens' names and dates of birth? Any information you can provide would help.
