Looking for relatives of Nicola Cocciardi. Came to the US in 1901 as a 19 year old (makes birth year 1882). I know of a brother Donato. Settled in Providence, RI. Nicola was a barber. Married Rosa Moscatelli, 1 daughter Louise, 1 son Francesco. Brought children back to Panni in sometime soon after 1912 when wife died in childbirth. Remarried, I don't know wife's name. Children returned to US in 1930's. Louise married Filippo (Philip) Chiocca, Franceso (Frank) Married Concetta.
Any information would be appreciated.
Nicola Cocciardi from Panni, Foggia
Go to the family history library of the mormon church and rent the microfilm of the civil records for Panni which date from 1809 to 1900. All births, marriage and deaths are recorded. Any dates subsequent can also be obtain from Uffico di Stato Civile in Panni if you have full name and year of birth. Peter
