Cinquegrani family, Castelbuono, Sicily

[kathyvegas]

My father's name is Anthony Joseph (Ceno) Cinquegrani. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pa. in 1937. His father was Domenico Cinquegrani born in Castelbuono, Sicily and his mother was Mary Elizabeth Lucia. My father had a brother named Augustine Cinquegrani born in Pittsburgh in 1936. Other last names of close family members are Jarussi, Marabella, and Quinto.

I am interested in finding out more about the Cinquegrani family. If any of these names & dates are meaningful to you and you wish to compare notes with me I would welcome an email from you at lvegas @ gmail.com

Cefalu is only about 5 miles from Castelbuono. Any relation?

Hi, Unfortunately I can't help you with your surname search, but my family is also from Castelbuono (last name of Mercanti) and my wife and I just visited my cousins there over the summer. It is a beautiful little town and to me, sort of embodies what I always thought Italy would be. Very picturesqe!!!

If you like, I'd be happy to post some pictures.
