Cecere/Pagliuso - Sant'Archangelo

Post by laurendfilm »

Hello,

I am looking for any information on my great-grandparents. I know that my Great-Grandmother was Maria Cecere or Angela Marie (she always went by Mary) Cecere. She had a brother, Luigi, and I believe they were from Sant'Archanglo di Trimonte or Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi. From my understanding, she came to America on the boat Palermo with her father, Giovannin, who may have been married to a woman named Maria Guiseppe Iammarina, possibly from Valva.

This is all the information I have ever been able to find on her - I do know that she and Luigi's wife, Nunziata diFazio went back to Italy to visit family in the late 1970's, and there was a LOT of them in a picture that she sent back, so I'm assuming I still have family there, but I have no idea how to find them!

As for my great-grandfather, I know his name was Guiseppe Pagliuso, born somewhere in Italy on May 10, 1887. He came to America and lived in Palmer, Massachusetts with Mary Cecere - they had two children, Antonetta (Annette) and Leo, and then they all moved to Chelsea, Massachusetts.

I'm at a complete loss and have been for years as to where to go from here, as no one in my direct family has any more information. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to email me at LaurenDFilm@gmail.com, though I will check here as well.
Thank you
