looking for family
hi!My name is Lisa Jones.I live in Central Florida.Its been a dream of mine to find out where my family originated in Italy, look up relations and eventually visit.My great grandmother came into ellis island in 1911 by way of the san giovanni ship.She was 19 at the time and her name was Maria Morici.Records from Ellis Island say that she was from the town of Favara.My great aunt said she was told that was near Massina.I still havent been able to locate Favara on the map.It seems tho that many family names were dirived from the town they came from so its leading me to wonder if we have family holding the Favara name as well.If anyone has any information I would be very grateful.Even if its just information of 'where' Favara is on the map :)Thank you in advance
