Answer 1

I am in serious need of help to prove that this ancestor (grandmother) of my SIL was born in Sicily: Lillian Oddo.  Family stories have it that she was born to the mistress of her father in Sicily (along with her sister Elizabeth) but source records state both Sicily and New York.

A bonus would be to find out the parents of her Grandparents from Castelvetrano, Trapani, Sicilia, Italy.

Many thanks!
