"My grandmother came from Naples to NY she lived in Sicily. My grandfather from Messina, IIRC I have the manifests from the ellis island website 1911."

My Dad came with his parents and his two brothers to the US (Rochester, New York) from Holland in 1912. My mother came to the US (Rochester, New York ) with her brother, and their mother from Canada sometime in the late 1920's. Always thought I was a first generation American until I went to Canada after my mother passed in 1990, and discovered that my 5th great-grandfather was a Patriot, and that I also had Loyalists in my family...all were from New York State. The Loyalists moved to Canada after the Revolutionary War.

Grandfather NY to Columbus to WV. I think my grand mother went NY to WV where her brother owned a cafe frequented by miners. My grandmother cooked spaghetti and the italian miners flooded the place.
