My grandmother, Gertrude Croakman Battaglia, was born in Buffalo, NY and married my grandfather, Anthony L. Battaglia. They both died in 1954, and are buried in a cemetery just outside Buffalo. My aunt Gertie married a Hynson and moved to California in the 1950s, I think.

I am the son of James (NMN) Battaglia (brother to Sam, Gertrude, Louise, and Clara Battaglia). I grew up in Akron, NY and left in 1967. I am researching the Battaglia ancestry, but have very little. I do have many old photos of parents and grandparents, and other family members. I presently live in Maryland, and my only brother, Phillip Anthony Battaglia, lives in FL. I am seeking information on the immigration of Anthony Battaglia's parents. Anthony's father, as I believe, immigrated from Sicily.
