Hi to all the Pucciariello's in the world

Surnames: Pucciariello, Fernicola
John,

My maternal grandmother was Angelina Pucciariello Fernicola. She immigrated to Altoona from Buccino and my grandfather, Michael Fernicola worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad. I was born and raised in Altoona and the Buccinese Club is still operating; I have a cousin who is a member. It would be great to share information because my grandparents were not very educated and there are not many records.

Hi Christine,

My ggfather was GianBattiste Pucciariello. He came to NY from Ferrandina, where he had married, in 1893, and died here in 1896. But according to his wedding record, he was born in Buccino (along with most other Pucciariello's) around 1860. His parents, also born in Buccino, were Pietro Pucciariello and Angela LaPera. Their offspring included son Paolo and daughters Angelina (my gmother) LaFianza and Gianna (Jenny) Viggiani. I've made contact with Pete Quintilli form the Buccinese Club about a year ago, but other than saying there was an original member with the Pucciariello surname, he didn't have much else. Turns out I'm going to Italy in September with cousins and we plan to spend a day or two in Buccino. There are still Pucciariello's there, including one in the local government, but no one has replied to my e-mails. Do you have a connection in Buccino???

Take care,

PS Our Pucciariello's have had a few name changes over the years and now go by Puccerella.

Recently researching my Pucciarello family roots and find my great grand-father Domenico Pucciarello came to New York in 1901 from Buccino. He was 36 years old. Someone in the post mentioned their maternal grandmother's name was Pucciarello Fernicola. My paternal grandmothers name was Leah Fernicola Pucciarello. Anyway, just fishing for any and all info.
