relatives of Justino Toccoli
In the early 1900's my grandfather came to America from Pietramurata, Trento, Italy. Any relatives in America?

dear olga,responding to your message... did you try tocco.?..some came from near that area.Perhaps oli was added (or deleated from tocco). sincerly teresa

Thank you Teresa. I thought about it before but never tried. I'll make sure to search under tocco. A lady sent me a note few days ago, she is Toccoli from Terento but not related to my mother's father. But her parents knew the other Toccoli family and gave me some names and their history which I was able to confirm in part with my mom's documents. I am trying to put all together and will post it in the future. Thanks again.

My name is Renzo Toccoli. My father was Cornelio Toccoli brother of Giulio Giustino Toccoli. I'm living in Pietramurata and here there are many people named Toccoli. I'm sorry but I haven't old family pictures to send you. I like much more to write 'old' mail instead e-mail so, if you want send me your actual address. P.S. Do you understand italian?
Thanks.

Dear Renzo, Thank you for your response. You are my mother's 'cugino'. Her name is Olga Toccoli. Yes, I understand italian, 'ma solo un po'. If not, I use a dictionary. My first language is Spanish, very similar to Italian. You can write in Italian, Spanish or English to:

Grazie mille!

Just want to share with you the results of my search: In Augist 2000, I posted my first message searching for my mother's relatives in Pietramurata, Trento, Italy or in USA.
I posted the message in the Trento board too. I sent e-mails to 5 Toccoli persons, which I found in the msn.hotmail directory. One Toccoli responded but he was not one of our family members, but guess what!!!... his mother knew all my mother's family and he sent the information to me, not only that he also printed my mother's picture which I sent to him and brought it to my mother's relatives in Trento!!! Isn't that nice? Also, almost at the same time, my mother's cousin (cugino) Renzo Toccoli spotted my message in Ancestry.com and wrote to me, that was in July 2001 (almost a year after I posted my first message) He is a dear man who shared with us pictures of my mother's uncle (his own father), my mother's aunts and other members in the family. We have been in touch since then. He and my mother are corresponding for the first time in their lives. Not only that but the other Toccoli (Michele) who responded to my e-mail has been in touch with me sharing pictures together with his lovely girlfriend.
Thank you so much to my dear friends Michele and Paola and to my dear, dear Renzo, Rita, Susi and Tamara. Thanks to all who responded to my message to give me tips on how to search.
Sincerely, Olga
