My Dad was born in Palermo, Sicily, in apx 1889. He, and his younger sister, Sylvia (later Bottitta), entered the U.S.A. via Ellis Island around 1900, but I have been unable to find it in the Ellis Island website so the year may be wrong. He eventually settled in Easton, PA, where I was born in 1941. He then moved to Chester, PA, where he lived with the Fasone family who became my beloved Godparents. Thankfully, I went to live with him in 1955 in Essington when he was 63, and I was 14. He died in May, 1973 at the age of 83. He was a good man. I wish I could have done more for him.
