Hello,

I am new to this list but have been doing genealogy for many years. the

surnames I am researching are:

ARENA, SILIPIGNI, FEMINO, LUCA, CELONA, FINOCCHIO

All are from the Messina area and Salice which is near Messina. all were here in the US prior to 1910. Many intermarriages among the above surnames. All settled in Boston, MA, Fitchburg, MA and Providence, RI.
