Cesare Lombardi

[Goodgrl55]

I am seeking information on my gr. grandfather Cesare Lombardi. I was told he was born abt. 1874 Palermo, Sicily. I was told he grew up in an orphanage in Italy, his parents died when he was young. Do not know for sure if true. His parents were Melichora Miaone and Vincent Lombardi. He married Giovanna (Jenny) Corsale, they had 2 children in Italy. Melichora (Anna) she was a twin, b. 1900 and a son Vincent (James) b. 1902. They came to US in 1903. They settled in Brooklyn, NY. Cesare (John) worked as a longshorman. He died 7 April 1944.. before I was born. He is buried in St. John's cemetery in Queens NY with his wife Jenny and daughter Jean Lombardi.

Trying to find out where in Italy he came from, and if there are any relatives out there.
Thank you
