Vincenzo Ragusa

[domino4674]

I have some conflicting information on this man. I know that he was married to my G-grandfather's sister. I am trying to verify the name of his wife. I have been told that it was Lozaria Reda. I have a Maria Rosaria listed as a sister also. I am wondering if they are the same person. Vincenzo was born 09/04/1898. I have nothing on Lozaria/Rosaria. They had 2 children Joseph and Rosa.

Hello,
This may help
Although his birth date is off by 4 years from his SSDI (not that unusual), his wife & children's information appears to be correct
