Classification: Query
Surnames: Reda, Greco,Buffone, Ragusa, Guarascio, Decicco
My maternal grandparents Giovanni(John)Antonio & Filomena REDA(nee REDA)came to the US in approx. 1902-03 settling in Brooklyn, NY, re-settling in Tacoma, WA after 1910. They had the following children: George, Jennie Marie, Frank, Albert & Esther (my mother). Information I have on lineage is as follows:

GIOVANNI ANTONIO REDA, b1876 in Domanico/Cosenza/Calabria; d1951 - Tacoma, WA
FR: Gaetano REDA, b1835; M-Maria Antonia GRECO, b1849 - both born in Domanico.
Paternal GP's: Giuseppe REDA/Giuseppina GRECO
Maternal GP's: Gaetano GRECO/Rosaria BUFFONE

John's siblings were??? He had at least one brother whom married a sister of Filomena - some of their children were George, Frank & Jennie.

FILOMENA REDA, b1883 in Carolei/Cosenza/Calabria; d1962 - Tacoma, WA
FR: Antonio Maria REDA, b1826; M-Innocenza GRECO GUARASCIO, b1836 - both born in Carolei
Paternal GP's: Francesco REDA/Maria Carmela RAGUSA
Maternal GP's: Vincenzo GUARASCIO/Nicolina DECICCO

Filomena's siblings were: Rosa, Vincenzo, Teresa(1), Teresa(2), Giuseppe*, Natale Antonio, Francesco, Maria Carmela & Raffaelina - all born in Carolei (*born Piane Crati).

I posted this message hoping that someone might have information regarding John's siblings. But mostly, I'd like to connect with "cousins" from the Brooklyn line (especially cousin George's descendants - he & his wife Sally came for visits when I was a child & I loved them dearly!) and, perhaps, with any relatives presently living in Calabria.

Thank you.

Rita
