I only information I knew was my great grandfather, Guiseppie Mondello, immigrated in the late 1890's with his wife, Crucefissa LaDuca and 2 children Serifina and Bennedetto from Casteltermini, Sicily.
I wanted to build our Family tree !
Who was Guiseppe why had he left ?
Who were the Mondello's, then and now ? How would they receive us ?
I guessed record keeping was probably non existent back then and my search would acquaint me with dead ends.
Nothing could have been further from the truth !!
I started my search in July 2002 and 6 weeks later my son and I were in the town square of Casteltermini hugging my newly discovered relatives.
