Trinco or Trincus of Trieste

Classification: Query
Surnames: Trinco, Trincus, Brun, Brunn
Looking for information on the family of Cristina Trinco or Trincus, born in Trieste, who married Antonio Brun of Andreis, Italy in the mid 1800s. Antonio had a stone and wood cutting business there.

The couple had these children: Giacomo, Giuseppe, Angelo, Lutgardo, Natale and Giovani Brun. There were girls born to this family as well, but I do not know their names.

Giuseppe and Giovani (born approx. 1866) went to the US in approx 1882 and went back and forth at least two times that we know of, with a final return to the US in, we believe, 1890.

Giuseppe later became a Presbyterian minister in NYC and became known as Joseph Brunn. He went back to Italy in the 1920s with a man named Antonio Andrea Arrighi, to report on conditions of Italian Protestants in the North of Italy, but again returned to the US and remained there until his death in the 1950s in NYC.

Giovani Brun was a stonemason in Italy. He married in Italy, to a Domenica Bucco of Udine, and they had these children: Luigi, Silvio, Italia and Christine or Cristina; there may have been others.

He settled in Ridgway, Pennsylvania and became known as John Brunn.

We are writing to the commune in Italy to get the birth and marriage info on Cristina, if it can be found; it may take a long time if we get any response at all. Until then, does anyone have a link to this family tree?

Cristina was referred to as an austro-slovenian in one of her son's memoirs. If I have no luck getting info in Italy, where shoud I try for her info next?
