hi. i am new user
and i would to ask community, most powerful forum engine is?
mybb etc? thanks digg
greetings and thankyou for reading this message.
my partners gt grandfather was nicandro bucci b1860c. family have said that he was born just outside naples and other family have said this was conca casale. i have not seen anything in writing to say either information is correct so this message is a longshot. english census returns only say that he was born italy!
from his marrage certificate 1883, it give his father as crescenzio bucci (no occupation). nicandro is not included in the 1881 census so i assume he came to england just before 1883. his children were anthony, joseph, lewis, louisa madelina, philomina and frederick, all born england.
i wish there was more info that i could give you, but this is all i have.
many thanks.
