Greetings from Chicago
A little number of pictures tell the story of my family from Sicily to U.S.A.
Iacobucci's Family: Luigi,Giuseppina (daughter of Sofia Genualdi?) and their childrens Gaetano,Sofia
Postcard from Chicago: Simone Genualdi
Ernesto Genualdi?
 
Above a picture taked in a city (in U.S.A) that i don't know (Chicago?).
I think it was taken on 1920-1930. In the picture Iacobucci's family: Luigi Iacobucci (or Jacopucci) , his wife Giuseppina (daughter of Angela Genualdi?) and their childrens Gaetano e Sofia.
Someone know this family ?

Palermo 1906: my Grandparents and my Aunt Concetta
Riccardo (Richard ) Genualdi?
Maria Genualdi ?
 
My grandparents Carlo and Martina Genualdi with my aunt Concetta (Ina for my siblings and me): she told me the roots of my family and where our relatives settled. She born in Palermo 6 June 1906 and she died there 17 June 1988.
 
I think this picture shown Riccardo (Richard) Genualdi. He was born 1886 in Italy. When he was 17, she leaves Palermo to reach his brother Simone in Chicago. With Riccardo his sister Maria Rosaria (source: ellisisland manifest 1903). He married Anna (from Poland). (source Chicago censiment 1920 and 1930). Last usual residence was 720 61st street, Temple City,L.A., Cal. He was buried 12.19.1962 at "All Souls Cemetery- Longh Beach"
 
I think this picture shown Maria (maybe her sister Sofia) Genualdi. She was born 1889 in Italy. When he was 14, she leaves Palermo with Riccardo to reach her brother Simone and her brother-in-law Iacobucci in Chicago. (source: ellisisland manifest 1903).
I don't have other informations about her : i think she married in Usa and i don't know the surname of her husband.
