I am trying to find ANYTHING related to my Iacobacci (now spelled Eacobacci in US) family from Circello, Benevento. Can you give me any hints how to do this? Was your family always from Sicily? How is this name, which I presume is not a very common name, found in both Circello and Sicily? Thank you for any information you may have.

Re: Iacoba(c)ci already in the 16th century
Here are the only things I know: as to the spelling, I think that the modifications have come from the difficulty -for the English and American speakers- to identificate its correct pronounciation (yakobatchee, like my e-mail address) with the way it should be written (Iacobaci, like my surname). I think my version is the oldest as -on the site nuovorinascimento.org I've found a poem by Pietro Aretino (an important poet of the 16th century from Arezzo, Tuscany, not far from Florence!) where he talks about a Iacobaci. It is a nice poem, written in satiric style (following the line of the realistic-jocose poetry -just like the great Cecco Angiolieri- as opposed to the precious stil novo and the troubadours of the precedent centuries), and he's not very kind to our ancestor, I may assure you! I'm sorry for my bad English, I write better normally, but I'm very busy and I'm writing so fast... Hope my informations have been useful to you

Re: Looking for relatives with same last name
Hi Brenda, My name is Jean (Saville) Taylor. My grandmother was Maria Iacobacci from Toro, Italy. She married Emmanuel Sivillo (saville). I have heard that my grandmother had a brother named Mercurio, but we have never met any of the Iacobacci family. I wondered if you had a picture of Mercurio or his parents and siblings. I have the photo of Maria and Mercurio standing with two sons. Are there others of Mercurio, his parents, or siblings? I had heard that Mercurio's brother had a cinema in Venezuela and that the Iacobacci family had a cinema in Toro. Do you have information on the Iacobacci family you'd be willing to share? I don't think Pottstown is all that far from me. I live in Columbia, NJ Thank you Jean

Re: Looking for relatives with same last name Iacobacci
Hi Chet, I think we are related too. My grandmother,Maria Iacobacci married Emanuel Sivilla (Saville) in West Virginia. They moved to trenton, NJ. My father, Joseph Saville was one of 12 children. I have been trying to find info re: my grandparents for a long time, but no one seems to know much. I've been told bits and pieces, but none connect. I live in Columbia, NJ now and my husband and I own a campground on the Delaware Water Gap Mtn. I would like to know about the Iacobacci family and find some pictures of my grandparents and their families. I have a tree but no info on the people on the tree. If you can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jean

Re: Looking for relatives with same last name
Hey Mark,
This is your ex sister-in-law,Beth Yacobacci, I was married to Joseph Louis Yacobacci in 1987 and we divorced in late 90's. I had two children, Nicholas Allen is now 18,I gave him his middle name after yours, Steven Anthony is now 15. Steven and I were looking around for his ancestry when we came across the photo you had posted. I remember your father, Michael (Frank) Yacobacci, having showed me the photo years ago. I just wanted to say hi and would love to keep in touch. I am glad to see that you are doing well. Happy holidays to you and your family!, and looking forward to hearing from you.
