Bill, I don’t see a direct connection, but I noticed your last name Saia. I did my good friend who has Sais’ in her lines and her line comes from Cefalu, Italy, which is pretty close to Termini. I have some Saia genealogy for her side, her line is in MS.

I really do not no. Everyone in my family the Sabinos and Volpes that new the kids don’t remember. They own the biggest food distributer of fruit and veg. among other things , and they own the Cincinnati reds baseball team. I will try to find out for you, I have been trying to find out about my italian families, because nannie and great grandpa never talked about them but great grandpa Nicola Sabino died in 1931 of tb so my grandmother who was 7 when he died never really new him that well. Her and here twin was the youngest of 9.

We are looking for the Catanzaro family from Termini. Some came to Minnesota late 1800s or early 1900s.

My grandmother Rose Maniaci ( nee Mercurio) family was from termini. Her family immigrated to Appleton Wi and then to Milwaukee Wi. Her father’s name was Augustino Mercurio. Might be attending reunion in Sept. Would love to find relatives still living in Termini, or hear from anyone who might think we are related. Glad I found your website.

My family is also from Termini Imerese. My grandfather Salvatore Rizzo also immigrated to St Louis and then moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. His father’s name was also Salvatore.

Termini Imerese is a pretty small town! I would bet some of your relatives are some of my relatives.

My grandfather would never talk much about the old country because he was embarrassed due to the Sicilian Mafia reputation.

Please let me know how I can find birth records or marriage records from Termini.

Thanks.
