Welcome to the Elia Family Project. In conjunction with the Elia Family Reunion of 2001, which was a great success, the Elia Family Project was designed to help keep the Elia family as tightly knit as it was when Maria and Nicola first immigrated to the United States from Sicily. The website celebrates the 8 families descended from Maria and Nicola.

Did You Know?

Maria Elia was once at the center of a strange news story in the New York City papers. Neighbors had lost a ball over her fence, and she had refused to give it back. The children resourcefully picketed in front of her house, and the story - Children Picket Grandma - was picked up by at least one big city paper.
