Mr. Capriola, I live in Detroit, MI. My father's name is William John LaFranca. He was named for his grandfather if memory serves correctly, his father was named John Joseph LaFranca, he was raised by his uncle I believe. We had an uncle Gasper LaFranca who died recently in the Detroit area. My father believes that the research he has done on the LaFranca family dates back to France and Napolean banishing the money makers to Spain. There is a village in Spain named Villa Franca or referred commonly in the tourism as La Franca. What do you know of this to be factual?
