My father's mother was Maria Antonette Siracusa and she had a brother Salvatore Siracusa.(Maria married Paolo Francesco Ottuso) They were from Siciuliana (Paolo from Gergenti (Agrigento) and married in Siciuliana.I don't know when they went to Brazil but my sister says Maria was pregnant with my father at the time and he was born March 9, 1902.They came to America in August 1903 (I have the boarding passes from the ship S S Byron but cannot find that ship listed at Ellis Island although they came through there) and Salvatore's family came with them.My sister got a copy of the manifest of the ship (not the complete manifest so we don't know who else was on the ship).Maria & Paolo came with 3 children (although the story is that there were 13 in total) and at the time they sailed Salvatore and his wife had 5 children.(my father's name was Salvatore.His mother's maiden name was Josepha Dinolfo.Any info would be appreciated.Thank you
