These are my great-grandparents Onofrio Cacicia born about 1858 and Lucia Scardina born about 1869. They were born and raised in Trabia, Sicily and got married there in 1888. Onofrio first came to Johnstown in the late 1890's - he made many trips over. He'd work, save some money and go back home - better off with a couple of bucks in his pocket. From stories passed down in the family though - he was considered a drunken fisherman and womanizer.
This next photo is a picture of Lucia's mother and my GG-Grandmother Anna SanFillipo also born in Trabia, Sicily in 1839.
I might add - that for some of my relatives do resemble these people.
