My first known Macera who immergrated to the US was Mauro Macera he was born 5 Feb 1880 in Italy He came to the US in 1905 aboard the Perugia which docked at Ellis Island. Mauro worked for the Rail road and in Mills until he settled in Johnston R.I. about 1907 he returned to Italy for his wife. They had 11 children who all tended the farm as they were growing up. I have only been able to come up with 2 of his childrens names. One is my great grandfather Vito and the second is Ralph who is the father of the mayor of Johnston. I have not been able to locate a birth or death record for Vito but Mauro and Maria we living in Johnston at the time of his birth in 1910. Mauro and Maria are buried in St. Annes Cemetery in Cranston and Vito and his wife Elsie are buried in St. Patricks in East Greenwich. Any further info on this family would be greatly appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
