or Gennarino from Paterson NJ?

My gr. father was born in the n.j. area if I remeber correctly I believe it was patterson. His name is thomas sciacca. is ther a possible that are gr. fathers were brothers???

I live in Columbus, Ohio. My dad's name is Frank Sciacca; he was born in 1923. There's also another Frank Sciacca in town who may be related; he's about the same age. My dad's parents were from Sicily. His father was an orphan who had the look of the continent, but his mother, a native Sicilian, was very dark.

Hi Frank,

My grandfather is Angelo Cappellucci. He lived in Trinidad CO. He was married to Josaphine Sciacca whose father was Frank Sciacca from Sicily. Do know if you have relatives in Colorado

My family is from the town of Marsala, province of Trapani. My grandparents before they married each other had the last name Sciacca. Yes they were distant cousins. How did your family come to settle in NJ? I am in Canada and have relatives in Boston Eastcoast area. what you said about black blood is true. Reply back asap. CIAO

I'm married to a Sciacca whos father was from N.J. Hes father owned a meat market there, he's name was Joseph Sciacca
he had 6 kids, named John, Rosealie, Rene, Cosmo,Josie.
He came over as a child, through Ilise Island. I was wandering if you might have some information or any one else might on them . thanks, w/b, Jewels2see

My grandfather Frank, was the son of Giupsepe Sciacca and Marianna Mavica both of Bronte Province, Catania Sicily.
There is quite possibly some Moor blood involved in anyone from Siclia in those days. The Moors took over Sicily for a short while.

I am not a member of the Sciacca family tree but was interested in your post regarding your father. Would he be the Frank Sciacca who was a Columbus policeman and later office manager at the city Building Regulations and the Columbus Workhouse? He was my boss at the last two and a dear man, friend, and mentor.

The reason I happened upon your post. . . I just filled a silver and crystal bud vase with two roses. The bud vase was given to me by my Frank Sciacca as a wedding gift. He attended the wedding with his ex wife (your mother?). It prompted me to look up the name.
