My brother told me about this site. It looks really interesting. I am looking for my family tree. My grandfather, Anthony Pagano was born in Orsara di Puglia in the 1890's. He came to the US in the early 20th Century and lived in Pittsburgh, PA. He had 2 brothers who also came to the US around the same time. Any information about our family tree would be really appreciated.

Sincerely,

Anthony M. Pagano

Thanks for the information, Biff. I am looking for information in Italy to go with the great information you found about my grandmother.

The best thing to do is have all your North American research done before going over seas. If you have already done this then share some more details with us and help us get acquainted with the family.

I live in Augusta, Georgia; knew a Pagano, think his first name was Carlo.
He was retired military and worked for the North Augusta (South Carolina) police. He passed away several years ago.
