My Sicilian Orleanian Family

Between the 1880s and the 1920s, approximately 300,000 Sicilians immigrated to New Orleans, Louisiana. My paternal great, great grandparents were among those who migrated, making their voyage out of Palermo with the citrus fleet that delivered lemons and oranges to the Port of New Orleans.

This series covers stories of my family, from those who immigrated over 100 years ago to the current generations who are still here today.
