My great-grandfather was Andrea Cuccia, born October 28, 1858 in Piana dei Greci, Sicily. He was the son of Antonino Cuccia and Rose Ajavolasit. Andrea married Antonina Guidera on October 12, 1882. Andrea arrived in New Orleans on Fev. 28, 1886.

Andrea's siblings were Maria, Teodoro, Nicolo, and Rosaria.

Hey Greg,

Read the entry from Luigi Genovese in the Cuccia board. He mentions Antonino Cuccia. Is there a connection?

Say Hi to the family, Love Cynthia

Hey again,

I was looking at a paper with some information on it. Grandma Molla told me this yearsssss ago!

At the time, she told me that Andrea Cuccia was the son of Theodore Cuccia and Rose Aiavolasiti. She also gave me the name of Piano Dei Albanese - Sicily

Other info on Antonina Guidera - her parents were George Guidera and Domenca Massi.

Did you have this info already? Remember, Grandma "recalled" this info one day as we were sitting in her livingroom on Dumaine. This was before she moved in with your mom. Her age might have played a part in her memory.

Hopes this helps and does not confuse.

Cynthia

I grew up in Chicago. My grandparents emigrated from Piana dei Greci to New Orleans in the early 20th century, but settled in Chicago. I know that some people remained in Louisiana. Among my grandparents' many friends were the Cuccias. In addition to Chicago, many people from PDG settled in Madison, WI.

Hope this helps.
