The Families of Poggioreale, Sicily

Poggioreale is a small town of about 1800 people located in the inland portion of far western Sicily, in the Italian province of Trapani. Located near the tip of the boot of Italy, Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Because of its strategic location and fertile soil, world powers have fought to possess Sicily for centuries.

This website is dedicated to the friendly and generous people of the present day town of Poggioreale, to whom I am forever in debt.

It is currently (and continuously) under construction by Robert Lowry Jr. of Houston, Texas, USA. This website is part of my attempt to contact, and to create a permanent record of the many families that trace their origins to Poggioreale - families that are now represented in countries throughout the world.
