Sherry, I noticed LiSante. That was my grandmother's (Angela's) name (though I thought it was spelled LaSante) before she married Nicola Pucciariello. She had a lot of sisters--Marie, Lina, Jenny, Nancy, Anne, Isabel, Rose. Together Angela and Nicola had Joe, Estelle (or Adele), and Carmine (Charlie). My father was Carmine. They all lived in New York. Do any of those names sound familiar?

Elaine, please email me again. We are definitely related. My grandmother was Estelle, Carmine's sister.

Walter, I am sorry that I do not speak Spanish. My great grandfather was Angelo Pucciariello from Buccino, Italy. He came to US in 1890. I know that there are other Buccinese in Bs As because I found an Asociacion Buccinese. Is your family originally from Buccino? What can you tell me about their history? Thanks for any information. -Michelle Barros

Michelle,

I saw your posting and wondered if there is a connection. My grandfather was Nicola Pucciariello, born in 1877 from naples or salerno. His father was Guiseppe born in 1840.

Thanks

Sherry

Elaine, My great-grandfather was Gian Battiste Pucciariello according to his 1882 marriage record from Ferrandina, although by the time he came here his name changed to Pucciarelli, and later to Puccerella. The reason I'm interested in your family specifically is because while most Pucciariello's are from Buccino, you grandfather Nicola was from Ferrandina. Other than your Nicola and my Gian Battiste, I can find no other Pucciarello's from Ferrandina and even though they seem to be about 17 yrs apart in age, there has to be a connection there. Pls. contact me. John LaFianza, Glen Rock, NJ
PS Your grandmother's name was spelled Lisanti

Sherry, My great-grandfather's name was Gian Battiste Pucciariello according to his 1882 marriage record in Ferrandina, though by the time he came to the States it became Pucciarelli, and is currently spelled Puccerella. My interest in your particular family is because while most people with your surname came from Buccino, a tiny town near Salerno, both your grandfather Nicola and my greatgrandfather Gian Battiste came to the US from Ferrandina, in Matera, Basilicata. But I don't think either was born there - more likely Bucino. They are the only two records of Pucciariellos from Ferrandina that I can find, and though they were 17 years apart in age, they have to somehow be connected. They're not brothers because you say Nicola's father was Guiseppi, while GianB's father was Pietro. I'm trying to track GianBattiste back further -was hoping you had something new on Nicola.

Sorry I did not respond sooner. I was out of town and then the hurricane hit. I really don't know anymore about them. I don't even know where Nic was born, so any info you have is appreciated. Even the cousins left don't know much about him. So I have come to a dead end. How did you find the info about the Puccariellos from Ferrandina? and FYI, I found the name Guiseppi from the marriage record. I'd be happy to help if I knew where else to search.

Hi Sherry - My ggf Gianbattiste Pucciariello came to the US from Ferrandina and was married there as well, but I was pretty sure he wasn't born there and the marriage record confirmed my suspicions - he and his parents both came from Buccino (Salerno/Campagna), a small town just across the Basilicata border, where about two/thirds of the Pucciariello's came to the US from. I'm willing to bet two things: your Nicola and my Gianbattiste were related - too much of a coincidence for them both to be that far away from Buccino and have the same last name and not be related - and that your Nicola originally came from Buccino as well. You say you know his father's name as Giuseppe from his marriage record. If he was married in Italy the record should state where he and his parents were born - that's how I found out my Gianbattiste came from Buccino.
The name Pucciariello just doesn't fit in Ferrandina - the only records I found from 1865 - 1905 with that surname in that town are a birth of a Pietro in 1884 - who I'm pretty sure was Gianbattiste's first son - and another Pietro born in 1891 - possibly related to Nicola. No deaths. I stopped looking for marriage records when I found Gianbattiste's in 1882. That LDS film by luck happened to be on loan at my LDS center for someone else, and I think it may have been returned by now, but I'm going there next Tues. and I'll look for the marriage record of Nicola.
The trouble with Buccino is that its records have not been documented by LDS. In looking for help, I just today contacted the Buccinese Club in Altoona, Pa. (yes, I said Altoona, Pa.) and while no one could help me from a genealogic standpoint, the (really nice) guy I spoke with spoke glowingly about this town - the Club members visited there two years ago and were treated like royalty, and his daughter actually got married there last year (again, royally). I do have an e-mail address for the local pastor but I may need an interpreter - my guy in Altoona says of the 5,000 people in Buccino, only two or 3 speak English. If you have any details about Nicola (birth date or even year), I'll be happy to include them in my request for info from the church there. One last thing - my Ferrandina research originally focused on my "LaFianza" side - it was only by luck that I found the Pucciariello marriage record there - so I can tell you that the surname Lisante (Nicola's wife, you mentioned in an earlier post) happens to be by far the most common "L" surname in Ferrandina. My guess is that just like GianBattiste came from Buccino and married a local girl in Ferrandina, your Nicola did the same. That would mean that the two of us are in a very small club - in addition to possibly being related - albeit very distantly - we both probably have ancestors from both Buccino and Ferrandina and I'll bet no other families can say that!
Good luck in your research - please feel free to e-mail me at jllaf@optonline.net, now that we have power back!!!
Take care,
John
