Hello,

I am a new beginner to this list and have been facinated with the
knowledge of those who have been doing this for awhile. I hope that I
can gain from some of your expertise in my research. Currently the
surnames I am researching are as follows:

Gannuscio
Deionesia
Napoli (possible)
Pippena (possible)
Angelica

My great grandfather is Sabastiano (Charles Napoli) Gannuscio born in
Campofiorto, province of Palermo, Italy (or is it Sicily?). His birth
date is approx. 1876. He married Josephine (Pippena) Deionesia on 24
June 1902 in Luchcycle, Italy. She was born approx. 1882. Sabastiano's
parents are Leonardo Gannuscio (born approx. 1850) and Dominia Angelica
(born approx. 1854). Josephine's parents are John Deionesia (born
approx. 1856) and Maria (born approx. 1860). These dates are from notes
of my grandmother along with the cities. The Napoli and Pippena names
are noted in brackets and may have been their surnames before arriving
in America. I have also not been able to locate the city of Luchcycle,
Italy. There is not a lot of information but it is what I have to start
with. I would appreciate any assistance or direction in finding any
additional information. This is my first experience in research outside
the United States and it has been a little overwhelming.

Thank you in advance

Jeff Collings
