I was under the impression the Tocci family had gone extinct, around the 16th century.
Tocci is a common surrname distributed through out Italy, do all Tocci's descend from this family? Is there a progenitor?
Here is the distribution
http://www.gens.labo.net/it/cognomi/genera.htmlIs it possible that a few family members's influence led to namesakes around the country? Such as towns and/or places? And the surrname is adopted through that? There is a Tocci city in Calabria.
Are there records of the descendants of the Tocci family, that link this Tocci, to any Tocci born post 1700?
