Hello!
Did your father ever speak of relatives in Philadelphia? I heard the story of "cousin Mario who moved to Peekskill" from my father's first cousin. She really is the one in our family who knows our Tucci family history, and could shed some more light on the connection between the two Tucci branches. If you have any more info, or any questions, below is my e-mail.
Thanks for answering!
Catherine
