Bonaventura, Monico, and DiStefano

[centanno]

I am helping a friend start her family tree and I am looking for any information on the names Bonaventura, Monico, and DiStefano. I am particularly interested in any of the above names who left Pettorano Sul Gizio and went to Stuebenville, Ohio and Nashwauk, Minnesota. Thanks
