The Cavagnaro family lived for generations in Torriglia, near Genoa in northern Italy’s Liguria Region. In the late 1800s, Giovanni Silvestro Cavagnaro, Sandra’s Great Grandfather, pictured seated in the picture on the left, immigrated to America. His wife, Sandra’s Great Grandmother, Geronima Bava Cavagnaro, soon followed with three children, Lida, Edith and Felix, and settled in Scranton, PA. Their other three children, Mary (Sandra’s Grandmother), Rose and Margaret were born in America.
