Bressi roots

[Bressi1]

Hi! I'm new and I'm interested in finding ANY information that anyone may have about my grandfather. This is what I know... His name was Domenico Bressi... he was born on November 28th 1885 or 1883. He arrived on Ellis Island in 1904, and his name was changed to Dominick Bressi. I know that he was from the Calabria region of Italy and I believe that he had an older brother that practically raised him and maybe 2 sisters also. He met and married my grandmother Elizabeth Fraugepane in New York and they had 3 sons... Francis, Philip, and Paul.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!
