  • My grandmother, Carmela Annibale (nee Verteramo) came to the U.S. from Siderno, Reggio Calabria, Italy around 1921. She had a brother, Pete, who also came to America, but she had another brother that went to Australia. I believe his name was Giuseppe Verteramo. Do you know if this Domenico is from the same family?
