my friend joan renzetti has discovered that her father who was born in fossacesia had a mother born in moroco. how can this be ? could she have been jewish ?
Dear Ariel, it’s hard to give an opinion without knowing the specific case and the time period. A focused research would be required. Thank you for your comment.
My ancestors and families are of Piucci descent. Originally from Poggio San Vittorino ( Teramo area) and Fosacessia area ( Scorciosa).
I had a genealogy group help and myself as well as some cousins from Scorciosa. We found : Giovanni Piucci 1690). Can not find the wife. Although 6 boys were born in a household of Pizzi:
Battista Piucci (1725/6) seems to be the lineage that passes down through my family. The other siblings of Battista: Bartolommeo, Benedetto, Domenicantonio, Pietro and Taddeo, no information of their descendants or ascendants have been found. Please help
