I am searching for any information on the surnames Formica/Emanuele.
My grandmother is Francesca Formica born 5-23-1887 in Sicily Italy (i believe near or in Milazza) She had 2 brothers and 1 sister (Lucia Formica Sofia last address known is Contrada Centro v-31 Milazzo Sicilia, Italy back in the 1950's) The only other Formica name I have is Joseph Formica.
Last address I have for him is Villa Grazia Milazzo Sicilia, Italy.
Francesca's parents names were Salvatore and Theresa Formica
Francesca came to the United States (PA) on May 31, 1913.
My grandfathers name is Paul Emanuele. Born 8-5-1873 in Naso Messina Sicily Italy. His parents were Ignazio and Rosa Romano Emanuele. I do not know if there is any other kids. He came to the United states (PA) April 9, 1909.
I hope some one will be able to help me search further. I will take any information I can get. It is important to our family. Thank you.
