Hi korkyv,

Here's a map of Sessa Aurunca.

If you have trouble viewing just type the name of the town in your search engine and it should come up.

Nuccia

Nuccia and Suanj: Thank you so much for the response. Ellis Island records show town of origin for my grandfather, Gabriel Ventitozze, (spelling is questionable on the last name) as "Setta Aur." I knew he was from the Naples area but could not locate this town on any map. Having the correct location and spelling will make my research so much easier.
