Hi Everybody- I just found this site when looking for my great-grandmother's Italian surname, Lucaioli. I was unable to find this name and maybe what area of Italy it could be from. We only know my great-grandmother emigrated to the states in 1903. We know nothing of her life in Italy as she was very secretive! She married a Pietro Gargano and I just found the Gargano peninsula, how exciting!

Anyone heard of the name Lucaioli???

Unfortunately, marriage license does not contain any specific info on her birthplace.

If the following is your great grandmother, it appears she emigrated with Masini family for whom she worked as a maid. Last residence Rome.

Manifest markings show she may have naturalized in 1942. Her naturalization papers might give her birthplace.

Likewide, her Social Security application might give details on her birthplace.
