My grandfather was Pietro Amodeo, who immigrated from Misilmeri to Brooklyn in 1890.I know (through family lore and Ellis Island records) that he returned to Sicily a few times, and that he also helped bring over other family members.According to Ellis Island records and conversations with distant relatives, we believe that Pietro had at least 2 brothers (Lorenzo and Domenico), and a sister named Antonina.Their parents (my great grandparents) were Diego Amodeo and Marianna Pappalardo.
Let me know if any of these names sound familiar to you!(FYI, our family tree is online at yetto.com).
