Births in Messina and Agrigento

Post by EdwardFaruolo »

Hello,
I am trying to help a friend find her grandparents. But, I have not had much luck.
Francesco Guerra born 1886 in Messina.
Giuseppina Rusello born 1903 in Argiento.

They met and were married in New York.

Thank you!

This one came to America in 1920 headed for her father in Bristol, PA. Nearest relative in Italy was a grandmother Luigia Cataldo. Looks like family trees have her and Francesco Guerra as married in Bucks County, PA, which would check out.
