Hello. My husband's grandfather was Joseph (Giuseppe) Cuva born September 12, 1890 in Motta d'Affermo. He immigrated to the US in 1902 and died in Stamford, CT in 1971. We have little information on the Cuva family and wonder what relation he might be to your Marianna. We have found a family tree on Ancestry.com that shows a father Francesco born 1864 but there is no documentation. If you have any information you would be willing to share, please contact me at the email address shown. We are planning a trip to Motta d'Affermo in May and would love to be able to visit any ancestral homeplaces.
Sincerely,
Donna Dudas
