Hello, This is my first post; I've been lurking for a while, and am glad to see this group - unlike some other genealogy newsgroups and lists - is quite active. Okay, on my great-grandmother, Anna's, death certificate, her son (my great uncle) listed Anna's father's name as "Edisto". I "Googled" "Edisto" to see just how common a first name it is in Palermo, where Anna was born. Here's what I found out: 1. The Edisto River is the longest blackwater river in the world. 2. There is an Edisto Beach in South Carolina. 3. There is/was an aircraft carrier with the name "USS Edisto". None of these facts pertain to genealogy, I know. Just out of curiosity: anyone out there know, or know of, any Edisto's from Palermo, Sicily? Thanks, Jim
