I am a student at the University of Notre Dame and was doing some research for a scholarship when I became interested in finding my family history. I came to this site by pure accident but, since I want to visit Italy soon, I am interested in finding some of my family in the US and Calabria. My grandmother's name is Rose Mazzone and she said her grandfather had 29 children, some of which survive in Italy. My grandfather's name is Nick Ferraro. If anyone can give me any information on either of these names, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

As you can see, my name is Ferraro and I was born and raised in Sharpsburg Pa. a suburb of Pittsburgh. My grandfather came from San Pietro en Guarano when he was 17. I don't know if he had any brothers or not. He died when I was only 4 and I never got any more information than that about the family.

There is a site for San Pietro and the phone book there still lists about 30 Ferraro's.

Good luck in your search.

Hello Lisa just like you I to stumbled upon this site and found it quite intriguing. Though I am not related to the Ferraro name. I know of one family who presently resides in Toronto, Canada. Originally they were from Belvedere(CZ). I hope this information has been useful to you. Good luck in your quest.
