My grandfather was Francesco Ragusa. He and his brothers & sister came to US from Cosenza when he was about 19 years old. His brothers were Mario, Angelo, and Eugene and their sister was Asunza. (These names were probably Americanized or spelling changed at immigration. Francesco died last year at age 101. His father, I believe, was also named Francesco. Any relation to your family?

Hi,

My great-grandmother was Concetta Ragusa. She came over to the United States in January 1920. I know she had a sister named Anna and a brother named Franceso. Her last known residence in Italy was Leonforte, Catania. Perhaps there is a link with your Francesco Ragusa?

Sincerely,
Rachel
