Hi Maria.
It is possible that my great grandmother
was a cousin. What I know so far is her name
was Anna Marie Moffa born 1858. She married Orazio Vassalotti
and settled in Philadelphia and then Landisville
NJ which is in south Jersey.

Her parents names were: Gaetano Moffa and Chelia Testa

She had two sisters, so far, that
I have traced down:
Carmela born 1851, Filomena born 1862
and twin brothers, Michael and Giacomo born 1860.

Carmela Moffa married Ottavio DelDuca.
They had 10 kids. One of their daughters, Josephine,
married a Frank Genovese and had a son Frank. They all came
to the Philadelphia/South Jersey area. I dont know much more about
them at this point. I am in contact with Carmela's
great grandchildren, who are my cousins all
named DelDuca.

Does any of this sound familiar to you?

: My great grandparents were Concetta Genovese
and Nicola Moffa.
They had 2 sons, Giuseppe (Joseph) and Nazzareno.
Both came to the US in or around 1919,
Joseph settling in Glenside, PA, and Nazzareno,
my Grandfather, in Altoon PA. I've found most
of the Altoona relatives, but would love to find
the Glenside branch. My father, Aldo,
had several cousins there, and as he's turned 80,
and is waiting for "the big sleep", as he calls it,
he would love to hear from anyone that he may know.
Also, there are some relatives in Berwick, PA.
