I am researching the Mangiameli (Mangiamele) and Gibilisco families from Carlentini, Sicily. Both families immigrated to Omaha, Nebraska in the early 1900's. Sebastiano Mangiameli came to Omaha in March, 1913. His wife, Maria Pistone soon followed in November, 1913 along with their 2 young sons, Carmelo (Carl) and Angelo. Filadelfo Gibilisco came to Omaha in 1906 or 1907 according to the census. (I haven't been able to locate him on any ship passenger list.) His wife, Rosaria Sortino followed in February, 1909 with their 3-year-old son, Paolo (Paul). Due to my lack of knowledge of the Italian language, it has been difficult for me to get information from Sicily. Any information and/or assistance would be greatly appreciated. I am very willing to share what I do have.
