Welcome to the Interlicchia World Family Tree
We have been researching the Interlicchia family for many
years. We have found Interlicchia families currently living in Sicily,
mainland Italy, France, Switzerland, Brazil, Argentina and in 12 states of
the United States of America. All of the Interlicchia families that we
contacted knew of ancestors that came from a small village in Sicily named
Valguarnera Caropepe.
As we did our research, we found alternate spellings of the
name including Interlichia and Interlicchio.
In every case we were able to prove that the alternate spellings were also
part of this family. This fact, along with the uniqueness of the name,
and the fact that they all came from the same small village,
made us theorize that ALL living Interlicchia in the
world today are related and part of one big family.
As a result of a series of events, and numerous records that were
discovered, we believe we have proven our theory, and in March 2010 we
declared that
ALL Interlicchia in the world are related, and in fact ONE big family. The
family in Valguarnera Caropepe started in 1687 when Joseph Interlicchia married Paula Mordenca. Every Interlicchia (or
spelling variations) reading this are descendents of the children of Joseph and
Paula.
Our goals with this website are to: (1) Build one World
Interlicchia Family Tree; (2) To serve as a platform for exchanging Interlicchia family information; (3) To show you how
you are connected to the World Interlicchia Family Tree; (4) To teach and
document Interlicchia family history for all of us and our descendants to
enjoy.
If you are interested in seeing where you fit on our tree, AND
you are willing to contribute to the tree, please contact us through our

This site was built in its entirety by Joseph R. Manusia,
son on Angelina Interlicchia. Joseph's research was responsible for
finding the records of every person listed on this site and for building
this family tree. However, he wants to acknowledge and thank Elizabeth
"Bette" Sasso and Stephanie Thorne Broche who are the other two
thirds of the "we" referred to above. It was our years of
cooperative research, record sharing and brain storming that resulted in
all Interlicchia in the world being connected.
