Re: NOCERA TERINESE & FALERNA

My husbands family is from Nocera Terinese. We go there every summer. His dad was born there. He knows almost every family.

What info are you looking exactly? I will ask my in-laws about Signore Curcio for you & I will reply again. They are younger than him, but perhaps they knew family, etc.

Buon giorno Signore Mendicino,

Your family name is quite a popular name in Nocera. When we visit the cemetary in the mountains to pay repects to my husband's nonno & Nonna, we see your last name everywhere.

My father in law's name is Adolfo Paola, his father was Federico (my husband as well, of course.

My mother in laws family, too, was from Nocera Terinese. Her father's name was Nicola Trunzo. My mother in law is Letizia Elena Trunzo Paola.

We are not going this year, but perhaps next. We were there last summer. We reside in Naples, Florida. Where are you?

My in laws are there from April through September & then come back to Florida (Palm Harbor). They are in Campora San Giovanni. Do you go back often? If so, where to?

Thanks for the reply.....Hope to hear from you again.

Kim
