Apa, Caroprese, Panebianco, Pucciani, Santora from San Donato di Ninea, Consenza, Calabria, Italy
I'm trying to find anybody or any information on these surnames. My great grandfather was Raffaele Apa. He had a sister, Giuseppina Apa Pucciani, and a brother Vincenzo Apa. There parents names were Luigi Apa and Maria Caroprese. Raffaele married Angelina Santora and had 3 kids Luigi Apa, my papa, Maria Angelina Apa, and Vincenzo Donato Apa. Raffaele came to the US with his uncles Luigi Caroprese and Giuseppe Caroprese in 1901 and were to live with a Panebianco that was my great grandfathers cousin and his uncles nephew. I have found a lot of info on here of them coming in and out the US but I would love to hear from anyone who knows anything about my family.

Hi there,
I have very little information, but I hope it helps! I know that "Angelina DeRose" (later named Angela Rose) married someone with the last name of Apa whose father was Vincenzo, I think. Angelina and her family were from Cosenza, Calabria, Italy, and her father was Pietro DeRose and mother was Virginia Piro. This isn't much information to go on, but maybe it will provide a clue? I wish you luck in your research!

P.S. Ok, his father was not Vincenzo. Sorry about that. I did a little more digging, and I'm fairly certain the Apa who Angelina married was named Attillo Angelo Apa (1915-2002). I found this information in another tree, so I don't know how accurate it is. I couldn't find any source docs, but it seems likely it's correct because both the DeRose's and Apa's lived in Jersey City, NJ.

The Angelina that I'm looking for married my great grandfather Raffaele Apa in Italy. She died Dec 31, 1932 in West New York, NJ and is buried in Bergen, NJ. Which is where Raffaele is buried as well. I did not find any DeRose's in my family search but I appreciate the info.
