Family history of Sebastian Fresta and Nunzia Guacona

Hi all. Trying to research family history of Sebastian Fresta from Santa Margherita di Belice and Nunzia Giacona from Poggioreale

Sorry for the delay in responding, but just seeing your post now. Unfortunately, you will need to provide us with some specific details. Approximate years of birth? Where their marriage took place-Sicily, the U.S., etc. Where they took up residence, if in the U.S. Also, I personally have done extensive research in the town of Santa Margherita di Belice and have never seen the surname Fresta associated with that town. So where did you get the info that Sebastiano was from that Sicilian town?

Could this be your Sebastian and Nunzia in the 1940 US Census living on 104th St in NYC?

POSSIBLE birth act of Sebastiano Fresta in Riposto in 1894 (#317
There is an annotation of marriage with Nunzia Scarcella; and also an annotation of death in 1972, in Acireale. It is in Part II, so most likely died away from his residence.
