[TI] Salvator to George

Sat Mar 29 09:34:25 CST 2008

My grandfathers sister left TI about 1900 and settled in Chicago.  Her husband's name was Giuseppe Mercurio.  I have been searching for the descendents of them for years.  I think they had three boys.

My great grandparents left Termini in 1888 and settled
in Chicago.
