Grand parents sib.

[TomPia]

Good morning to all. My name is Tom Piacenza and this is my first attempt at any form and new to genealogy.I am trying to find out about siblings of my grand patients. Right now just on my fathers side. My grand father come to the US in 1907 grand mother in 1916. They were married in Sicily ( Castelventrano ) and had 4 kids there, my dad and his sister were born in the US. I am sure my grand mother had a sister and I think I have found a brother.
Her name was Garcia Palazzolo and grandpa's name was Tommaso Piacenza. I have seen the ship's manifest and it said he was met by his brother in law, A Bizzo (or Rizzo) Giovanni but I have not been able to find any record of him. I think it said he lived in Ala.
Thanks to all
Tom P.

Thanks Tessa.(Now more questions)

[TomPia]

Thanks to all for your help. In searching for siblings of my grandfather, you have come up with 3 brothers. One of which has the same name as my grandfather (Tommaso) who was born in 1875 .
The first Tommaso was born in 1866. Bernardo was born in 1864 and Gaspare was born in 1878. There seems to be no girls born??? As there seems to several years between 1866 and 1875 with no births could there have been some sisters born then? If so why are they not shown?

Thanks again for the help.

As my g grandfather was a foundling is there any way to find out who his father and mother might have been?

1 when was she born?
2who were her parents?
3When was she married?
