Hi Everyone - My name is Jessica, and I am trying to obtain the names of my Great Grandfather's parents, as well as confirm what my Great Grandmother's maiden name was. My Great Grandfather was Antonio Rucco, and he as born in Naples (or the area) in May of 1880.
He immigrated to New York around 1909. His wife's name was Filomena, and I have always been told that her maiden name was "Salerno" - however, I know that Salerno is a place, so maybe my family was just confused?
A relative of mine was told that the names of Antonio's parents were Francesco and Rose, but I can't find any Italian records on any of them.
Just in case someone may be working on the same surname, After Antonio and Filomena came to the states my Grandfather, Orlando Rucco Sr was born in New York (and they had other children, Joseph, Francesco, Rose, Viola, Assunta, Americo), and then my father was born in 1949, Orlando Rucco Jr. The majority of our family lives in the Bronx area.
If anyone has any tips on how to track down some info, I would be most grateful!
Cheers!
Jessica
