 Genealogy of the Francesco Mucciolo Branch

Francesco Mucciolo (years of birth and death unknown) fought under Garibaldi for the unification of Italy in the mid 1800's.  We believe Francesco had several children, but have detailed information on only one—MarcAntonio.

MarcAntonio Mucciolo--Tried to enter the US twice but was rejected both times due to an eye problem called Trachoma.   He died in Italy on Dec 30, 1930, one month before his wife, Maria Mamaria Peduto.  According to her passport, she arrived in NY May 23, 1911.  According to the immigration records, Maria was born in 1860 and arrived in NY June 21, 1911 from Naples on the S.S. Cretic.  She was listed as 50 years old on arrival and was met in NY by her daughter Rosa (Rosina).  Rosa’s immigration records do not show Rosa arriving until 1921.  She may have come to the US earlier and gone back to Italy.  Maria brought with her three children, Pasquale, age 16, Carmine, age 8 and Angelina age 13 who was erroneously listed in the immigration records as “Angelo”.  MarcAntonio and Maria (Peduto) Mucciolo had several children listed here in order of birth -- 1) Francesco, 2) Michele, 3) Giovanni, 4) Rosina, 5) Giuseppe, 6) Pasquale, 7) Angelina, and 8) Carmine, all born in Castel San Lorenzo.
