  1. My husband's grandfathers were the President and Vice-President of the Societa Concordia Partanna back in the 1920/30s? We would like to post some of your current pictures to our Facebook page for the rest of the family to see. We would also like to contact current members/officers to see if there are any pictures of the grandfathers from back then. Any assistance that you can give us would be much appreciated. My email address is cynbassoon@gmail.com. Grandfathers' names are Joseph Piazza and Leonardo Sciacca.

    Hello! Can you help me find info about my grandfather, who immigrated from Partanna to NY around 1908? I suspect the Societa helped him but am unsure where to turn. Thank you!

  3. My grandfather's president of the club as well. I'm not exactly sure of the time frame. His name was Rosario Marinello. Were you able to contact anyone for photos?
