COLOMBO of Sicily to USA&Argentina 1900
I am trying to locate the descendants of the two brothers of my great grandfather, ALESSANDRO COLOMBO b. Apr. 27, 1874. His two brothers were: (1) LIBORIO COLOMBO b. Dec. 15, 1871 Barrafranca, Enna, Sicily, Italy, he married MARISTELLA D'ALVIOLA and (2)SALVATORE COLOMBO b. March 4, 1877 Barrafranca, Enna, Sicily, Italy. Family stories say that one brother stayed in Sicily and the other went to Argentina about the same time Alessandro and his wife GIUSEPPINA CATANESE 1874-1947 went to the United States in 1907 to settle. On Alessandro and Guiseppina's ship record, it says they had a relative in New York named ALFOSSO GAGLIARDO. I've not been able to locate this Gagliardo relative either. I do not know which of these brothers (Liborio or Salvatore) went to Argentina but am looking for any descendants that may recognize any of these names.
The parents of these 3 brothers are SALVADORE COLOMBO b. Aug. 25, 1842 Barrafranca, Enna, Sicily, Italy and wife ANNA SPATARO b. abt. 1848 Barrafranca, Enna, Sicily, Italy.
If any of this sounds familiar to you or if you are a descendant of one of these brothers, please e-mail me.
Your cousin!!
