Poggio/Penno family

Loretta · New Member Joined: Apr 15, 2011 Posts: 1

I am seeking information about my grandparents, Stephano and Teresa (nee Penno) Poggio. They came to the US from Felizzano, Italy in the 1920'a and settled in the Bronx, NY. My father, Luigi, was their only child. Their friends included Rosina and "Gus" Carbonelli and their son, John, the John Robotti, Lorenzo and Maria Bussetti and their children, Carlo and Frank.
My goal is to learn more about their history and meet others who might have known them or their friends.
Thanks
