Dee, my Albano family-line is from Palermo also. Great-grandfather Salvatore Albano (b. 5/14/1864, d. 4/8/1957) married Mary Rose Castalano (b. 11/1/1869, d. 3/5/1957). They had one child Mary in Palermo and then emigrated to Clintondale to live with Salvatore's nephew Angelo who had already emigrated. Salvatore and Mary Rose had other children including Vincent, Rosina, Anna, Antoinette, Jenny.

Ed Hagan, could my great uncle Vinny be related to your Vincent Albano (b. 1870)? I'm not sure of Vinny's birthdate, but he was born well before 1909, and eventually moved to California.
