Emily:

I'm researching Roccalumera, Nizza, and Ali -- all in the area between Taomina and Messina vicino il mare!

Michele:

I have a Giuseppe Ricciardi b. 1790 -- he had a number of children but I've only tracted one so far -- Antonino Ricciardi b. 1824.

Antonino married Carmela Giannetto --they had 8 children

Francesca b. 1869 (maybe in Roccalumera) m. Domenico Papandrea

Concettina m. Pasquale Papandrea

Giuseppe m. Santina Nardi

Rosina m. Francesco Allegra

Filippa ?

Francesco m. Antonietta De Luca

Virginia m. Rosario Russo

Antonia m. Antonio Cardillo

Antonino and Carmela's grandchildren where born from about 1890 through about 1915 but no Francesco.

I don't see a connection yet but let's stay in touch.

I'm interested in the wedding story.

===================================================

One name I'm working on is Lombardo from Forza d'Agro Provincia di Messina.  I thought I had seen someone post that name and town but I lost the info.

If any one is out there please e-mail me.

Thanks

Doris, Judy and Kara:

Thanks for all the information. I was looking for Lisa.

I have a Francesca Locascio (born Dec. 18, 1891) married to Salvatore Marisca.

Francesca's parents are Angelo Locascio married to Angela Caminiti. I know they are from Sicily -- probably some Province in Messina but I haven't confirmed anything yet.

Any possible connections?
