I cannot understand what did happen; I am very sorry. Here is the correct message I wanted to post: "Hello Barbara!
This last weeks I have found some other data about Iconio Cuccia’s ascendants: his maternal grandparents were Iconio Viviano and Maria Porcaro; the source of this information is the “atto di morte” (a death registration) of Iconio’s mother, Rosaria Viviano, which died in Contessa Entellina on February the 20th 1887 at the age of 79.
Moreover, I have found that Iconio’s father, Antonino Cuccia, was born on December the 6th 1808, at 2 p.m.; his parents where Mastro [this was the title given in Sicily to an artisan, in this case to a carpenter] Luca Cuccia (the son of another Antonino Cuccia and of Elisabetta Mustacchia) and Nicolina Musacchia; the source of this information is the archive of the church of Contessa Entellina where Iconio’s father was christened.
Luca Cuccia, Iconio’s grandfather, died on January the 7th 1861 at the age of 79.
You probably already know the beautiful website of Leita Spoto about Contessa Entellina:
(

I’d like to hear from you and to know more about your genealogical research.
