Did not find Michele Cologrossi in any census, Mike. Tried alternate spellings with no results. Found a Mat Cologrossi in Indiana in 1920 census, and a Frank Cologrossi in Washington in 1910 census. Found a Dominick Colagrossi in Chicago in 1920, a Giuseppi Colagrossi in Seattle in 1920, and a John Colagrossi in Chicago in 1920. Joe in Texas
