Sicilian heritage

Looking for anyone who may have family from the small town of Mota (
Motta) Camastra that is about 35km from Taormina. The family name is
Paratore changed to Paretti at Ellis Is. in the early 1990s.

Here some information on the province of Messina where is located Motta
Camastra.

In the whitepages there are 200 persons with that surname in all the
province of Messina.
The nearest little towns to Motta di Camastra are Taormina (5),
Giardini Naxos (1), Giarre (2). This municipality is more near to the
province of Catania, then to the province of Messina.
It would be interesting to know if your grandfather had brothers or
sisters left in Sicily, because they can be transferred in others sites
in Sicily or in the north of Italy, as you can see in the next point.

I have some friends in Taormina, I'll try to ask them if they know any
Paratore living here. Good luck Maria Luisa

Any info. will be appreciated.

Paratore in Motta Camastra, but there are 6 listings in Taormina. Maybe
some letters to your distant cousins would be a good idea.
