Hi Dennis -
I'm into geneology too! A while ago, you posted a query on the Vacca surename message board. I came upon this board and your message only recently, and was very excited. The reason being, Agostino and Christina (Iodice) Vacca, were my gggrandparents!
Their eldest child, daughter Concetta (Mary), my ggrandmother, married Giovanni (John) Ganci, a barber from Giuliana, Sicily. They had 5 beautiful children together: Ralph (my grandfather), Augustine, Benjammin, Mary, and Alfred. (I have some pictures.) Mary was the last one living. She died in 1999, and is survived by her son, Joseph.
After having read your message, I inquired of my aunt and some 1st cousins once removed, all now in their 60s and 70s. (Many of our cousins still live in NJ.) They told me that they remember from their childhoods, their Aunt Josie, Aunt Anna, and Aunt Lillian (your grandmother). These were their grandaunts. They also remember their slightly older 1st cousins, once removed: Jimmy, Peter, Augie, and Eleanor Vacca. They were some of Alfredo's (Alfred) children with his wife, Nellie. They also had 2 more children, Catherine, and Alfred.
According to the 1930 Federal Census for Jersey City (Hudson County), NJ, Augustine (as he eventually came to be called), and Christina, listed right below some of their many grandchildren and Nellie (seperate households), were both born circa 1859.
I'm still researching and would love to share info. with you. You and I are 2nd cousins, once removed!
Sono cosė felice di trovare un altro cugino. Č come li raccolgo....!
