DiCarlo/DeCarlo

[jmd0727]

does anyone know what this mean in english Dionisio
also what does Accussia and Acusia

What is Charles in Italian??

[PeterTimber]

Dionisio in english is Dionysus, Dionisia or Dionisian. The French have adapted the name as DENIS.

I amnot able to divine Accussia or Acusia while Carlo is Charles =Peter=

Calogero can also be Charles in English. It looks like the 2 siblings Charles and Lillian were actually Calogero and Calogera.

Hi Peter & MJ ,

(from 1910 manifests, home was Sciacca)
best guess: Accursia
Sicily, derived from the Italian Soccorso = 'Help'

No doubt there's a better translation
