I am looking for info on John Nicosia born 1913 in Boston. Might that be the son of the family you are researching? The John Nicosia I am looking for may have died in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Re: Alton Ill - Gary Indiana Nicosias

pburney1 — 2007-11-12 22:42:24Z

Thank you for looking out i just think its strange that there are two families with the same last name in two very close cities one from the 20's and one from the 30's and both from Italy and not be somehow related ill keep looking also.

Re: Alton Ill - Gary Indiana Nicosias

EAMAY — 2007-11-05 13:05:12Z

I don't have any more info on the Nicosias right now. I'm sure there's a connection. The Nicosias I am interested in lived on McClure St. in Alton Illinois. My Great-Grandmother's nephew James W. Jones, Jr., married Mary Nicosia around 1929/1930 and they had at least one daughter named Patty born about 1930 and another younger son. I will keep an eye out for any connection to your family.

Re: Alton Ill - Gary Indiana Nicosias

Alton Ill - Gary Indiana Nicosias

EAMAY — 2007-05-03 13:01:04Z

Trying to find a Mary Nicosia who married James William "Bill" Jones about 1929/1930 in Alton Illinois. They later moved to Gary, Indiana. They had two children, the oldest, I believe, was named Patty or Patricia. "Bill" had a brother named Charles L. Jones.

Mary's parents were Anthony Nicosia and Juaniana Cassatata.

Please contact me if these people sound familiar.

Although I don't know much about this, I do remember my father, Anthony Nicosia b. 10/2/1911, talking about spending time in the Chicago area with his Uncle John. My Grandfather was Angelo Gaetano born 1888 in Montemaggiore, Sicily. He was married to Anna Bonomo. His father was Antonio Nicosia and mother was Filippa Messa. I don't have my info on my new computer, but I will try to get it installed. I do have the names of my Grandfather's brothers and sisters and I will check them out.

How about the name Josephine Marie Carlise b. 5 Jan 1901! She was in the Cook Co, Chicago, ILL census for 1930 married to Catino "John" Nicosia b. 1897 Italy; their eldest son Tony was b. 1921 in Louisiana and she was born in Louisiana; her folk from Italy! They also at that time 1930 census had: Samuel b. 1923; Florence b. 1925 and Josephine b. 1926! You do not see any of these people either in any Nicosia research? Thanks!

Re: Nicosia Family in St. Bernard

Re: Nicosia Family in St. Bernard

NancyWilsonColeman21 — 2004-09-20 00:42:15Z

Are you referring to St Bernard in Pittsburgh, PA area?
If so I am trying to locate Joseph Cancilliere's family connect!
his son Charles b. 1929 was married to Josephine Marie Nicosia b. 1932 and d. 1998. I am trying to locate Catino "Tony or John" Nicosia's b. 1897?, dad and mom and family. I think the Catino Nicosia was b. Italy. I don't know if he came with family or what? His wife may have been b. LA.
Thanks!

My great grandfather is Fredrick (Ferdinando) Nicosia. He came to America from Sicily @ 1890. He was born in 1876 and died March 6, 1927. He married Sarah Arato in Boston, but don't know when. They had 13 children; Fred (Happy), John, Louis, Edmund, George, Violet, Robert, Beatrice, Walter, Arthur, Arthur J., Cathyrn, and James. I have births and deaths for most of them. Edmund is still living (as far as I know) in Philadelphia. Violet is my grandmother. Anyone related?

Re: Nicosia

2004-01-04 14:55:01Z

Hi Joe:
It seems this is the only way we can talk. Your grandfather was born in 1877 in Siracusa Vittoria, Providence of Palermo. . He immigrated in March of 1907. He arrived with his family, Angelo, Born in 1885, Uncle Giovanni Battista Battaglia, Ciciulla.The perugia was the ship that they came in on. I have researched your family tree, with the help of my sister. I do however need to know more about your mothers side. Please talk to me, maybe we can do this together.

His wife was named Sara and they had five sons (Michael, Stephen, Guy, Angelo and Joseph) and four daughters (Mrs. Frank Di Cocco, Mrs. Galeno Fornarola, Mrs. Cerafino Milazzo and Mrs. Dominic Malasano). They also had 17 grandchildren when Pietro died on August 27, 1947.
