Hi Fred.

Trying to find out as much as I can. My great grandmother (Mother's side) was Antonia Tittaferrante (born abt 1864). Her father was Alessandro Tittaferrante and her mother, Giulia Giovine. I do not know if she had siblings or anything beyond that.

Does this mean that the Coglianese info would be found in Liscia? Where exactly is that? My husband is a Coglianese, somehow related to Frank Sinatra, but without the singing voice! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As for the Coglianese surname, I do not have a lot of information on the family yet. I know they are from southern Italy, but am unaware of the exact location. DiDesidero and Tittaferrante are from Gissi and Elisio (or Elisii, Lisio), and Pinto are all relatives from Guardiagrele (Chieti).
