Surnames: Tocco
My G Grandfather was Louis Tocco born 1909. In 1924 he married a Sarah Mae Coykendall, they had 3 children Louis ( my grandfather), Fern, and William. In 1929 they divorced and changed their last name from Tocco to Horde. My grandfather told me that his father was William (Black Bill) Tocco. I havent been able to find any history on their marriage or even just on my grandfathers father. I do however had copies of the original marriage lic. and divorce court paperwork. If any one has any info on my familys hjistory I would love to know more. Thanks
Kathleen

Just read this message and have a story to tell you. When my grandfather died in 1971, "BlackBill" Tocco came to the funeral home to pay his respects. They were childhood friends in the 'old country'.

I am looking for the relatives of my granmother, Domenica Maniaci, also from Terrasini. Her brother was Pietro, a shoe maker, and Jack. Her parents were Salvatore Maniaci and Anna Palazolla (sp?). Any threads between our families?

Surnames: Horde
My name is Eric Horde, we are relatives. I spoke to Louis in the 80's and introduced him to my father William Eugene Horde.

The name was changed to disassociate from the Mafia organization of the Tocco's.

Black Bill had a child out of wedlock with an Indian woman. The child was William Eagle Horde, my grandfather.

William Eagle Horde was married to Mary Siemans, one of several wives he had. Mary was my dads mother.

I think Louis was my dads Uncle. Look up my tree for more info.

Cheers,

Eric :-)
