My Grandmother lists Lucca as her last residence on Ellis Island records, but a place called "Fanino" on naturalization records. Fanino doesn't seem to exist. Found Fanano, near Modena, but no Fanino. Anyone know if there is a Fanino near Lucca?

Thank you. That is very helpful. These old records are so imprecise. I will try the comune of Lucca. There is also a Barbano area of Florence, but it seems more likely that the couple lived nearer to one another to meet and marry.
Birth was declared on day 8 by Teresa Ruganì, daughter of the deceased Giovanni Domenico and wife of Giovanni Domenico D'Angelo, 70 years, housewife, living in Pozzano hamlet of Lucca, in the place of child's father, who was away for his business. What is weird is that father's name is not mentioned (maybe the Registrar forgot, as father usually was the declarant).
Mother was Agata, daughter of the deceased Lorenzo Cozzi, and the child was born in parents' house, in Pozzano, precisely in the place called Braconi (same as surname).

M Guglielmo Braconi, born in Balbano, Lucca in 1871. His father was Francesco Braconi, his mother was Agata Cozzi. Guglielmo married Maria Battaglia ( daughter of Giocondo Battaglia and Maria Landucci) in 1900. The immigrated to US in 1901. His son, Frank, married Clara Lucchesi, the daughter of Giuseppe Lucchese and Carolina Batori. I have been told over the years that some of the family immigrated to Argentina. Is it possible that Giuseppe and Francesco were brothers?
