Mary Vacanti (find, family tree, white, grandmother)

[jfix55]

Wondering if anyone can help me, I am looking up my family tree and at a dead end at my great grandmother Mary. Her married name is Mary Pulvino and maiden name is Vacanti. Her birth year is 1903 in Italy and came to the us in 1914.

I'm looking for anyone she may have come over with - sisters, brothers, parents etc. Any records would be helpful.

Her children are Russell, Casimer, and Sara. Her husband is Charles.

Mary and Charles are listed in the 1930 census in Dunkirk NY.
May's age is listed as 27 which has her born in around 1903
Their place of birth is listed as Palmero Italy. Her immigration date is 1914. It says Mary was married at 16 , so that would be around 1919

Yeah, I looked but didn't do much good. Best I could come up with was the 1920 census which gave their origins as Palermo, rather than just Italy. But couldn't find anyone who fit.

Best advice would be to be very liberal on the spelling of the name, and figure that the Mary was probably Maria.
