We are still combing through the mountains of records from Sassano, so this update will be modest one.
New to the site is the family Raffaele Tursi and Pasqualina Monaco. Like many immigrants their surname changed from Tursi to both Turso and Tourso. Whether that was deliberate or inherited from mispronunciation or mishearing it is impossible to say.
Researching Raffaele’s children however unearthed Jennie Policastro (wife to their son Michele). Jennie’s family has 15 siblings and many connections to other emigrant families. Look for that in the next update!
