My grandmother was Concetta Russo daughter of Christopher Russo and Lucia Disimone.There were thirteen children,Christopher was a Presbyterian minister in New Orleans from 1894 to 1924.He founded the First Italian Presbyterian church which was located on Melpomene near Leidenheimer's bakery.My grand mother passed away before I was born,but I do remember seeing a photo of Joseph Russo I believe in his army uniform when I was much younger.I do not ever recall meeting him.I hope this has helped you ,and hope some of the other relatives can give you some more information.
