[bhammilazzo]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to track down more information about my mothers family. She is a Milazzo and I am trying to extended the family tree from where I am currently stopped.

The oldest Milazzo in Birmingham, Alabama, United States is:

My mother's Fathers Side of the family:

Guiseppe " Joe" Milazzo
Born: 1865 Bisacquino, Palermo, Italy
Died: 1943 Birmingham, Alabama USA

Married to:

Leonarda Plaia
Born: 1870
Died: 1940

I am also looking for anything on:

My mother's Mother Side of the family ( I think from Naples)

Salvatore Tripi
Born: 1869 Italy
Died: 1937 USA

Married to:
Leonarda Fiorella
Born: 1879 Italy
Died: 1943 USA

Any information would be greatly appreciated. I have 450 decendents in the Birmingham Milazzo family.

I am also looking for a Milazzo Crest

Many thanks in advance to all of you. I am very proud of my Italian heritage and I want to find out as much as I can to pass on to my family and children.

I am also interested in the Milazzos from Birmingham but have a question for you. I am looking for Josepho Milazzo (dates unknown) what was married to a Frances/Francesca Destefano. They were also from Bisacquino and immigrated to the US, living in Birmingham. They had several children; the 1 that I am interested in is Bernarda/Berenice Milazzo born 1877.

Please let me know if you have any information pertaining to them.

Thanks!
Christina
