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?

Having named her first daughter after her mother Angela, and her second daughter after her father Michele, Marie Barbarossa resorted to thumbing through movie magazines as she looked forward to another daughter. Movie star Debra Padget's name struck her as pretty - and thus Debra Barbarossa (Dorward) was named.
