My father’s family are from Abruzzi. Our last name is Nocito. My grandfather, Giuseppi was born in 1870 and married my grandmother, Rosina Poliseno born I on May 24, 1896. I don’t know when my grandfather came to America but my grandmother came in 1907 with her parents and brother Michael, and baby brother Antonio and adopted sister Madelina.. They were my great grandfather, Giuseppi Poliseno born in 1869 and my great grandmother, Irena Patacca born in 1876. I wish I knew the village or area where my Grandfather lived because I have a friend who wears a picture of her husband on her necklace who is the spitting image of my father. He too was from Abruzzi. If someone knows my family members who are descendants of these people, I would love to know how to contact them.
I am a Nocito also and my family is from Abruzzi. I wonder how we might me connected.
