Re: Italian surnames from Trabia area
The names I have are from the early 1900's. Charles(Ignazio) Rancatore came to US in about 1908. His parents were Carmello Rancatore and Maria Butera. My gmother was a Cancilla. Her parents were Marian Navarro and Sam (or salvatore) Cancilla. They were both from Trabia as far as we have records.
Re: Italian surnames from Trabia area
My father and grandfather are both from Trabia. My grandfather was a Salvatore Cancilla (just like me
). He had two wives, one's maiden name was Oppiano and I'm unsure of the other one. I know quite a few Rancadore's and few Buteras' living in the Bay Area out here in California but not sure where their lineage comes from.

The Rancatore's in San Jose had a funeral home business for years, does this sound familiar to you?
