Hello Cicelly,
I am married to Perry Como's great nephew.Perry Como and my husbands grandmother were brother and sister.Her name was Josephine.She married Guy Campagna and resided in Canonsburg, PA.Perry had 13 brothers and sisters, but I was unable to find all 13 of them.If you have any additional info, let me know.I was only able to trace back to Palena Italy where his mother and father were from.They immigrated to the US in 1904 and 1910 and arrived at Ellis Island.You can find some of the information on www.ellisisland.org, to see the actual arrival of the ship and the ship's manifest.Here is a partial family tree:
Father Pietro Como-Palena, Italy-year of birth 1878
Mother Lucia Travaglini - Palena, Italy - year of birth 1883
Children:
