Giuseppa Carmella "Emily" (Zingone-Ganguzza) Tersigni was born Giuseppa Ganguzza on December 8, 1911 in Motta d'Affermo, Sicily, Italy. Her family emigrated from the port of Naples on March 13, 1913. They arrived at Ellis Island aboard the ship America on May 26, 1913. Sometime after her arrival her name was changed to Carmella Ganguzza. The Anglicized version of Giuseppa is Josephine. For whatever reason, she adopted the name Carmella. Her nickname, shortly thereafter, was Emily. She used the name Emily for the remainder of her life.
