Hi,
 
Do you pronounce "Geraci" with a hard g, soft g or no g.  I'm looking 
for "Grazia Iraci" who was from TI but without any luck.  I thought 
perhaps "Geraci" might be pronounced similar to "Iraci" and when Grazia 
came to NY the immigration people changed the spelling of her last name.
 
Thanks,
 
Teresa
