Salvatore D'Amico-San Pierro Patti, Sici

Hi, my name is Anna Balletta. I was born in S.Piero Patti, Italy, in March 15 1950. My grandfather Salvatore Balletta was originally from S. Piero and he was married to Anna Furnari. They had 4 children, Toto, Nino, Vittorio e Francesca. The last one to die was aunt Francesca Balletta: she died in Rome this past year. Aunt Francesca married a cousin (first) with the same last name. I have no doubts that our ancestors come from the same family from S. Piero Patti. I go to visit my mother and brothers who still live in San Piero every summer. I live now in Evanston, Illinois. I remember hearing from my father Vottorio that some relatives from my grandfather's side and from my grandmother's side had emigrated from Sicily to the United States. Some members are in contact with my cousin Anna Balletta, the daughter of Francesca Balletta. Autn Francesca came to the United States many years ago to visit friends. She spent one years in Newton, Mass., and met several relatives who had emigrated here many years ago. Please write if you want to get in touch. My brother works at the City Hall in S. Piero Patti: I am sure he would be happy to check old books and try to understand all the connections in our families. Sincerely,
Anna Balletta
