Vincent Turturici or Turtureci in California
I am researching my grandfather's genealogy.He was Vincent Turtureci (probably a misspelling of the name Turturici), middle initial may be H. I think he was born in California and his parents immigrated into the US from Italy.I believe he died in 1948 and had several children by several different wives.I think his mother's maiden name was Cancilla.
Can anyone help?There is a large family of Turturici's in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, California.Some of them changed their names to Turner because of the prejudice against Italians in the 1930's.
I will have more information soon.
