My name is Adelena (Rossetti) Angelcyk and I too am interested in the Puca surname since my great-great grandmother was Rosa Puca. My GG-grandfather was Tomaso Nicola Rossetti b. June 15, 1817. Rosa Puca, was born about 1821 and died before 1869. My ancestors nearly all came
from Lettopalena, Italy. All that is, except Rosa Puca! She is the only Puca in our family tree, which numbers over 48000 in the current version. You can view our tree at:

My husband Gene has been searching the web for connections between Rosa and other Puca families and has come up with a big zero so far. One thing that he did note though is that nearly all of the Puca's who immigrated to the US came from a little town in Italy named San Antimo which is NW of Rome. San Antimo is not that far from Lettopalena (about 250 miles) and I suppose it is possible that my GG gf could have met Rosa while he was in the military, married her, and brought her back to Lettopalena to raise their family.
Questions? What town did your Puca lineage originate from? Do you have a family tree put together? If you do, do you have a Rosa Puca in it? Any info that you can provide will be helpful and sincerely appreciated.
Thanks,
Adelena
