    I enjoy the Gerbino website very much.  I found it quite by accident, and visit often.  In fact i keep my mother informed, she gets so excited since she has lost track of  some of her family. My mother has all the print-outs of the Gerbino website!

I thank GrayBee for updating my information:
   I knew Mark Gerbino, a teacher and wrestling coach at St. Benedict's Prep in New Jersey, US. He has not been at the school for almost two years. So, I suppose your information is just a little out of date.

I have met: (May 6, 2002)  Klaus di Giovanna  with the Firm Agricultural Gerbino (wines)

Klaus wrote (translated from Italian with a program):

  Today I visited the web-site "Gerbino on the web" and I must make compliments for her amazing realization, that testifies a passion and a non usual love for one's own origins. Its work has been rewarded because surely whoever visits the web-site will do some praises.

Norma informed me:

I have met (Jan. 6, 2003)... Fran Colboth

Fran's comments:
  "I knew a couple of second cousins in Sicily and found that Gerbino was close to the spelling. We hired a wonderful genealogist during our visit to Sicily and with a little luck I arrived at the home of Giovanni Gerbino and to our delight found that they were the right family."

Fran was very kind and sent me several photos from Sicily and of Giovanni with his tile designs.

Ray's comments:
  "The Gerbinos are on my mothers side, her father was Luigi Gerbino of Syracuse, NY. My uncle, Lawrence (Lorenzo) Gerbino also of Syracuse, traced his lineage back to around 1800, in the city of Parabita, Lecce, at the heel of the boot of Italy.
I did find your site useful and interesting, Keep up the good work! I found only one cousin listed on the site."

Fran wrote to me:
I have two Gerbino family connections......  my grandmother (on my fathers side) is Serafina Gerbino who was married to Antoninio Ragazzo, arrived in NY in 1903 from San Stefano di Camastra (they are listed on the Ellis Island Wall of Honor. I had a chance to visit Ellis Island several years ago and viewed the wall...it was an awesome sight especially seeing my grandparents names listed there. The other link is my fathers sister who married a Gerbino from the Bronx. Whether I actually find relatives or not, your site is such a wealth of information and I thank you.

  Also though I haven't had a chance to read most of your sites yet on the KSA what I've read was of interest. I lived in Riyadh for two years in the late 70's and mostly have such good memories of the country. My oldest daughter was born there."
