The Coniglio Family website A website devoted to the descendants and ancestors of
Gaetano and
Rosa Alessi Coniglio of Serradifalco, Caltanissetta, Sicilia.
Angelo F. Coniglio
is a first-generation Sicilian-American,
youngest of nine children born to parents from
Serradifalco (Serradifarcu), Provincia
Caltanissetta, Sicilia. After retiring from
practicing and teaching civil engineering, he
began researching his ancestry. That interest
led him to volunteer as a librarian at a local
Mormon FamilySearch Center, where he is
responsible for managing over five hundred
Mormon microfilms of Italian/Sicilian records,
on permanent loan to the center. He has
written a book inspired by his research; a
fictional account of the life of a foundling
girl in 1800s Sicily, her 'carusu'
(mine-boy) brother, and their struggling
parents. The book, The Lady of the Wheel,
may be ordered at
