Until this past summer, no one in my family knew where my great-grandfather, Pasquale Ursino, was buried. My mother found her grandfather when she visited the town hall in Catania, Sicily. The cemetery is like a city, so there would have been no way to walk around and look for it. For background on the grave's history, read

My great-grandfather is on the top row, second one from the right. |

The epitaph says he is 80 years old and died the 27th of February 1944.
Thanks to Kathy Kirkpatrick, who went to Sicily in November and sent me these photos. |
