Bondi Family in Termini Imerese, Sicily

[smorton76]

I'm trying to find more info on my father's family from Termini Imerese. My great grandfather Giuseppe "Joseph" Bondi (1/14/1886-9/17/1978) came to Troy, NY in 1903 & 1909. In 1912 he returned and settled in Troy with his wife Maria Bondi (12/13/1890-6/6/1987).

Giuseppe's parents were Antonio (possibly Antonino?) & Carmella Bondi; Maria's parents were Pasquale & Vinzenza (Vincenza?) Bondi -- yes, Maria's maiden name was also "Bondi", apparently she & Giuseppe were second cousins.

Ellis Island ship manifest info (difficult to read so names are my best guess): 1903 arrival indicates he's going to visit "Uncle Campagna, Sactorius" (first name is a huge guess) in Troy, NY. 1909 arrival (in which his name is recorded as "Giuseppi" rather than "Giuseppe) indicates he's going to visit "Cousin Michele Campagna" at 195 River St, Troy, NY. 1912 arrival lists "Brother-in-law Bondi" (can't read the first name at all) at 146 River St as the person they are going to stay with.

I would love to hear if anyone might have some info on any of my Bondi ancestors as I've hit a wall at my 2nd great grandparents' generation.

Thanks,
Shana (Bondi) Orton
