I'm just now discovering cousins I never knew existed. I am not really sure as to the point of origin in Italy of my ancestors. Dad says they came from Florence, but he's not sure. He also says they came through Ellis Island, but I can find no record of this. They were Domenic Defazio and Elizabeth Bonadio (my paternal great-grandparents), who came to America with their children Samuel and Rose. Samuel married Mildred Taylor (my grandparents) and Rose married Joe Decilveo. I realize the Defazio surname is fairly common on the east coast, and there are very many in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas. Not sure of any relationships, but then again I have only just begun my research on dad's family. I will let you know if I find any connections.
