Anybody with the last name Messina in this forum?

Just curious, just never know if you are some long lost cousin, or relative of sorts.

I've been working on finding my 2nd and 3rd cousins, since as I have been going thru the process, I realized that I really didn't know my father's side at all (minus the core gparents, etc.)

I found myself to be upset that I didn't do a better job in staying in touch with more distant relatives that I once knew....

Anyway, was doing some thinking today.....curious.

thanks Tessa, I posted in that....never know!

My greatgrandfather was from Catania (not Palermo) but could be a connection somewhere up/down the line....
