Were your ancestors from the town of Sant'Antimo, which is just north of Naples? My paternal grandfather, Antimo Puca, was born in 1896 and came from this town. His father, Stefano was born in 1871 and emigrated in the early 1900's to New York City's East Harlem. I think that he had a brother named Raffaele, and had cousins that lived on Mulberry St., Brooklyn and the Bronx. He changed his name to Puco, I'm not sure why. I have been doing my family history for over 3 yrs now, and I have come upon many Puca's, while searching ship manifests, census records, etc. You can email me at
