[TI] To Ken Geraci, Visit with Ann and family connections

[Josie Daly]

Hi Ken, Yes, I had a wonderful visit with Ann.  She is just a wonderful 
person to visit with.  She took me over to a religious book store in a 
neighboring town and then we went to my son and daughter in law's convience 
store in Renfrew, Pa.  She has quite a bit of information to share and the 
next time I go out there we will find time to go to the cemetary where the 
Sicilians are buried.

Now, as far as the connection to the names, I don't have all of the names of 
the brothers and sisters of the primary connections, but I will give you 
what I do have.  Believe me our relatives must have lived on the same 
block--just kidding.  I am the 4th greatgranddaughter of Camela Macaluso, 
born in 1743.  She was married to Andrea DiLiberto(Mro), born in 1743.  They 
were married in 1763.  They had a daughter, Maria DiLiberto, born in 1768. 
She was married to Andrea Sasone (Mro), in 1797.  They had 3 children, 
Teresa, born 1798, Giuseppe, born 1804 and Lucia, born 1807.   Teresa was 
marrried to Giuseppe Silvestri in 1819.  Lucia was married to Giuseppe 
Piraino (born 1796)  September 15, 1833.  Giuseppe Piraino's parents were 
Giovan Battista Piraino and Domenica Caruso.  Lucia Sansone and Giuseppe 
Piraino had 8 children: (1) Dominica Antonia Piraino, married to Salvatore 
Papania, (2) Carmela-a nun, (3) Giovanni, (4) Giovan Battista Mariano 
Raffaele Piraino married to Francoise Melanie Talpan, (5) Maria Giuseppa 
Piraino, (6) Marina (Mary) Piraino married to William DeFranchy, (7) Teresa 
Ignazia Piraino, (8) Teresa Piraino married to Agostino Guarnera.  Couple #8 
were my great grandparents. They had 9 children, (1) Vincenzo Guarnera, 
married to Teresa Forresti, (2) Vincenza, (3) Giuseppe Guarnera married to 
Annie (Lina) Rocco, (4) Salvatore (Louis) Guarnera married to Rose Lino, (5) 
Antonio Guarnera, (6) Vincenzina (Jenny) Guarnera married to Michael Mesi 
(My grandparents) (7) Giovanni (John) married to Josephine Lazio, (8) 
Ignazio (Frank) Guarnera married to Alice Kilroy and (9) Lucia Francesca 
Paola Guarnera married to Charles Lazio Naso.

My Geraci connection is with a Leonardo--no dates, married to a Salvatora 
Spagnolo.  The only child I have listed  for them is Maria Concetta Geraci, 
who was married to my 1st cousin twice removed Giuseppe Guarnera.

So you see we do share the names, but just how they fit together, I am not 
sure.  Thanks for your input, Ken, you are a real asset to this site.  Josie
