Reda from Cosenza, Italy relatives in America

Post by anthonyreda »

The last name Reda from Cosenza, Calabria. There are many Reda family members in America and Canada. Ohio and Pennsylvania have numerous Reda family. Any relatives that may have traveled here in early 1900's. Santo reda born in Cosenza 1904 moved to America 1917 ish? He married Carmella DeMario. Any Reda family out there?
