My ancestry tree is named "Simparosa/Claar/Terrizzi/Hess Family Tree". Charles wife was Dora (Snowberger), and had a daughter Rose Terrizzi, who was born 1923 and died 1936. My GF indicated that he remembers that his grandparents did travel back to Italy, so Charles, Dora and Rose must hav...

Ok, the 1901 manifest might be a closer match than I thought now that you said they were "store keepers". Charles ran a business in Williamsburg, PA and then in Shirleysburg, PA. Sorry about the confusion, my fault, I wasn't paying attention to who you were referring to, I was thinking of ...

He was born in Monforte San Giorgio, Messina, Italy. Charles died in Shirleysburg, PA. On his obituary i...
