Looking for lost sibling..
Looking for lost sibling..
Need help once again. I am looking for my grandfather sibling: Brigida Calamusa, parents were Melchiorre [Marchione] Calamusa and Maria Caterina LoBello. Brigida Calamusa married Salvatore [Sam] Russo. The family was from Corleone, Province of Palermo, Sicily, Italy. I do not have any other information on her.
I believe that Brigida and Salvatore stayed in Corleone, they rest of the family came to the USA.
Any information on Brigida will be appreciated. Thank you.

Marty, thank you for your search, but already have Benedetta Calamusa. If it will help at all in finding her (Brigida) she married Salvatore [Sam] Russo. I do not have any information other then they stayed in Corleone. I truly appreciate your effort in searching.

Not having much luck with the other siblings. Closest I found in 1884 was a Lucia Russo, daughter of Salvatore Russo and Brigitta Mannina (entry 582):
