Licata Agrigento

[barbarasprufera]

Can anyone tell me anything about Licata Agrigento? I am trying to trace my Great Grandmother back to Italy. I have been told she lived in Mezzojuso - but have not confirmed this. I believe her name is Josephine LaMonte - possibly Guiseppa La Monte / Lo Mante? She married my Great Grandfather Giovanni Guiseppe Sprufera / Sprofera but I am unable to find that name anywhere? I am trying to find out if Licata Agrigento is located near Mezzojuso? I have been told she came from a fairly wealthy family - who father was a politician or tax man? None of this has been confirmed - it may be just family lore.
Thank you,
Barbara

I can speak , read and write italian. I hace looke at the statistics on Grotte. I started a family tree some time ago. My fathers name is MICELI not too many in Grotte and not much history. My mothers maiden name was Licata. Grotte is 75% Licatas' plenty of history there, as a lot of the older family members are still around.

Hello all!
I also have family in Grotte (see below) and was wondering has anyone tried to request documents from there? I have been dying for my GGF birth certificate and have requested 4 times now: 2 by mail, 2 by email. Anyone else have a problem?

My Great-grandfather is Francesco Licata who is from Grotte. His parents are a Calogero Licata and Carmela Rizzo
His first wife was Angela Sardo from Grotte who unfortunately passed away in 1910.
