Hi Lou, Bob and Kara,

I'm yet another cousin...apparently we like to research our family tree. I have been researching our Feraco's from Acri for some time now. Between what I've found here, along with notes from my mother's cousin from a visit to Acri years ago, here is what I have found:

Cosimo was actually a triplet, the girl died at birth, along with their mother, and his twin was named Damiano. Their father was Luigi Feraco. Their mother was Nicollina maria Longobucco. From what Damiano's family has told us, Luigi remarried to a woman who did not want boys. So their grandfather (also named Luigi), raised them. We're still not 200% sure they were originally from Acri.

Lou's Luigi may be either Cosimo's father or grandfather.

In addition, someone I met on here sent me copies of the birth and marriage records for Cosimo and Filomena. Kara, I sent them to your mom, Bob, if you want them, I can forward them along.
