Katie (as Grammy refers to her) survived the fire. She says that she had to jump from a window. Katie was 17 at the time, and already married - her last name on the reports was listed as Speciale. Her husbands name was Vincent, I think. I think Gussie was the sister that worked at the factory as well, but I don't think she was working that day. Katie is listed on this webpage, all the way at the bottom of the page:

Can you send me the dates/info you have on Luigi, his uncle and sisters? Do you have any info on what churches they attended? Next time I speak with my grandmother, I'll see if any sound familiar.

I'm getting Charles' info together, and will message you.

Do you have a Raso that shows up in your tree anywhere? I have an "Anna Raso" that is written in the margins of the notes I'm working from, and don't know to whom she's connected. Might be a cousin or a wife...

Take care!
Amy

would you happen to know Angelo Cucchiara's middle name??? Cause Angelo Jasper Cucchiara is my grandfather. He passed away October 1993, I was only three. I know my Cucchiara heritage is out of Sicily.

Sorry, the Angelo in my tree died as a child (1920-1923). You might be able to request an SS-5 form from Social Security, to see what information is available on his parents, etc.

I will check my info to see if I have anything else.

Indeed, there is a Raso. Tony Raso married Antonina "Anna" Cucchiara, Katie and Gussie's sister. They had children Tony, Fanny, Frank, Mary, Josephine and Clara.

My Luigi was born in 1887 to Antonino Cucchiara and Giacoma Taormina. He married Carmella "Emma" Siragusa. He changed his last name to Spooner and had three daughters - Lorraine, Joan and Marie. They lived in Brooklyn.

Hi Amy,
I'm the daughter of Paul Cucchiara, and I believe I am part of your family tree. Everyone you mentioned in an early message is my family from Union City NJ. I think your grandfather was my Uncle Nicky, married to Francis? Let me know if you are interested in corresponding.

Regards,
Theresa Cucchiara Pinello

Hi Theresa,

Frances Cucchiara was the wife of Nicholo, who is my grandmother. She is...89...I think. My grandfather passed away around 1983 when I was a child. My mother is the daughter of Nicholo and Frances. Would love to keep in touch. My public tree on ancestry has lots of Cucchiara's in it, if you would like to copy it into yours.

My email is mookiemonkie@hotmail.com - I wonder who all we have in common!

Best,
Amy
