Calogera Figliola was married to Calogero Tirone not Calogera. Sorry about the typo.

Do the surnames Pitrotto or Figliola mean anything to anyone?
Maria Pitrotto was married to Calogero Tirone (these are my great-grandparents) in the 1880’s. Calogera Figliola would be my great-great grandmother and the mother of Calogera. She was married to another Calogera Tirone in the 1850’s. All are from Racalmuto.
Thanks.

I've been conducting some research over the last 5 years into my family history and have been met with many roadblocks. The following is what I have been able to determine:
Calogera Tirone b. 1858 - My Great Grandfather
Calogera Tirone b. 1886 - Son of Calogera
Giuseppe Tirone (1) b. 1886 - Son of Calogera
Giuseppe Tirone (2) b. 1882 - " " "
Giuseppe Tirone (3) b. 1897 - " " " (My Grandfather)
Giuseppa Tirone b. 1895 - Daughter of Calogera
Eduardo Tirone b. 1902 - Son of Calogera
Carmella Tirone b. 1884 - Daughter of Calogera
Nicolo Tirone b. 1888 - Son of Calogera
Sam Tirone b. 1902 - Son of Calogera
As far as I can tell, my grandfather, Sam, and Nicolo, all came to Canada about the same time (Shortly after WW1, Nicolo may have been her sooner.). They all came to Hamilton and Sam moved to New York State. I have no idea about the rest of the siblings. My father was not even aware of the others of anyone other than Sam of Nick.
My Grandfather's first wife (Giuseppe 3, born in 1897) was Teresa Licatta. She died in about 1939 when my Father was 7 years old. I'm pretty sure they were married in Racalmuto. My Grandfather remarried a few years later, Maria DiRocco, also from Sicily. She died a few years ago (my Grandfather died in 1973).
I won't send this message again and thank you for your patience. I look forward the opportunity to communicate with some of you.
