Ciao, all!

I hope I can obtain a lot of information here. My dad was Sicilian. Family mostly from Piana degli Albanese and Bagheria. Surnames (some are not in your list , include: Zito, Zarcone, Miraula, Puleo, Verdone, Filpi, Cortese, Di Bernardo, Di Carlo, Matranga, Guidera, Geraci, Scalisi, and more.

Anyone here have connections with any of these names?

Thanks!

Lisa Zito

Hi Lisa,

I don't have connections with any of your Sicilian relatives, but welcome to 'Gente". I am sure that you will get some help here.

Yes, welcome. If you can be a bit more specific with your information we may be able to help you with your research. Or you may want to use the Feedback form and submit your surnames to Italian Surnames Database

I am a new member of this forum. My LEONE family is 'thought' to be originally from Santeramo in Puglio. They then migrated to Salandra, Matera, Basilicata. Some known surnames connected to the LEONE family are PARADISO, SAPONARA, PANELLA, DONADIO, PENTRANTOLFO, CONTE, CIAMELLA. Several of these families immigrated to Camden, New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Any help would be most appreciated.
