Bookworm wrote:Hello, I'm looking for possible information about my Grandfather, John Staffieri. I've never met him and I'm pretty sure that he is not alive anymore. But I'd like to know about him. As far as I know he was in his 30s or 40s when he met my grandmother in Philadelphia, PA. She was I think 18 at the time. The year was 1950. They never married, but had a child out of wedlock (my father). He then left them both. My father tried to contact him in the mid 70s in Philadelphia by phone, but he spoke to a Leo Staffieri instead who denied any relation with John. But Leo did tell my dad that John went to California and was residing there at the time.
I'd only like to know what my Grandfather was like, who he was. And if anyone might know at all, what part of Sicily did he or his parents come from.
Thank you.

if you say us some other info the search will be more helpful.. regards, suanj
I come to ask for your assistance again. As far as I know, this John Staffieri was Sicilian, so what'd I'd love to find out the most is possibly what part of Sicily was he, or his parents, from?
