I am looking for any information that is out there on our Greco line that is connected to my husband's Prestininzi line.We think that most of this family originated in San Giovanni in Fiore, Cosenza, Calabria, Italy or nearby towns.
Here is where it begins for us:
Giovanni Spadafora & Vittorea Barberio
parents of:Gennaro Spadafora (b. about 1823, d. 8-13-1903)
Gennaro Spadafora married Maria Barbera Greco(d. bef 1901)
parents of: Giovanni Spadafora (b.1869, d.3-7-1903)
Giovanni Spadafora married Saveria Fratto(b.11-22-1875 in San Giovanni in Fiore, Cosenza, Calabria, Italy)
parents of: Maria Spadafora(b.12-6-1896 @7pm at home on Via Costa in San Giovanni in Fiore, d. 1945)
Maria Spadafora married Antonio Lucente(b.2-29-1892 in San Giovanni, d. 1975 in Eastpointe, Michigan, USA)
parents of 13 children including, Vincenza (Jennie) Lucente (b.1-23-1914 in Clarksburg, WV,USA, d.4-13-1993 in Eastpointe, MI, USA)
Vincenza (Jennie) Lucente married Domenico (Dominick) Prestininzi and they are my husband's paternal grandparents.
I would sincerely appreciate any help in locating information or contacts on the Greco family connected here or any of the other family lines mentioned.

Good Luck in your search as well.
Sincerely,
