I've seen the D'Addio name in the microfiche films for Acerra and I don't believe we're related. The Tufano name seems to be a common name in that area which is probably why I'm having trouble finding my relatives. But I will keep on looking.

Hi Sylvia,

I can't believe I didn't see your message before...maybe I did and if so you don't have to respond.

Your are so right about researching this family!!!

Ok, my grandfather is also an Antonio Tufano born about 1881-3 Acerra. He married Maddalena D'Addio and they came separetly 1906 & 07 first to Brooklyn and moving to Chicago.
They had 5 children: Theresa (died as an infant-possibly on ship to America) then my dad Luigi Luciano 1908 New York..and three more daughters Theresa (again), Raffella "Rose", Antoinette (Angie)and a son Charles J.

They had a cousin in Chicago, or more than one, who had opened a saloon/resturant which is now Tufano's Vernon Park Pub. It has been there almost one hundred years and DiBounos (family??) bought it.

If you are sitll doing this geno. please write me.

Thank you and best wishes,

Magdalena "Lee" Marion (Mary again but opposite your grandmothers name Tufano Ludington

Hi my name is Donald, and I am the grandson of Mary Soriano-Worhty-Foster. Who was the daughter of Ignazio, and Angela Soriano, and the sister of Tony, Dominic, and Teresa. I too am attempting to trace our Italian heritage. I realize that your post is several years old, but am hoping you still take a look once in a while. If so please drop me a line.

Ciao per adesso,

Hello, I am a Tufano

Hello, I googled my Mother's name, Mary Tufano, as this is the 5 year anniversary of her passing, and I found this message board thread. My family is from Long Island. My Father's name is Salvatore Tufano. He is also deceased. He was born in a town called Saviano, just outside of Napoli in 1931 and came to NY (Brooklyn) with his Father Felice, mother Pasqualina, and oldest brother Benny.

I wonder if other posters on this board are cousins?

Neither name is familiar to me, unfortunately. I'm appending my GEDCOM again... maybe you'll be able to open it this time!

I just read your message from 2004 and can't believe that I either never answered it or haven't read it in the 2 yrs since you sent it. Of course I'm so used to not getting any response to the message that I may not have read the ancester's message board in 2 yrs. As to the question of antonio tufano being related, I was unable to read your GedCom. Do you have anymore information that might indicate a relationship. Such as the names of Cuono Tufano marrying Angela Sarnataro? There are many Sarnataro's listed in a film I've been working with, but so far I haven't found a birth record for an Angela Sarnataro. My mother found a marriage record for these two. However, she neglected to record where she found it, and I haven't found it either. If I didn't see your message sooner, I apologize and will pay closer attention in the future to this site. Thank you for your initial response. These people don't seem to want me to find them. Either that or I'm still looking in the wrong places. Angie Tyczka

History Of The Tufano name

tufano_1 — 2005-10-11 21:43:06Z

To All Tufano's!!!

hi,

There is a town just outside Rome, Italy, called TUFANO...i have not been there yet but one day hope to take my sons to see if we look like any of them!!!

One assumes this was where the Tufano name came from...people from Tufano taking the name from that Roman Town...there's another theory too...

We were probably descendants from Emperor Cesser Tufano who ruled Rome in 200 BC. Only kidding...

The history of the Tufano name derives from the greek Theo., meaning God..

So when names were being handed out many many years ago (BC) my forefathers must have been religious, and chose a spiritual name reflecting God's power, one hypothesis:

''God arrives''' being the greek translation for Tufano which in Greek is Theo(something...) Don't ask me I read it somewhere...

My grandmothers name was Falco, her name is clearly connected to the Falcon, which in medieval times was a trade, namely Falconry...

One of these three TUFANO chaps below, and I don't know what one, would have been my grandfathers father...I assume

take care fellow Tufano's

My great-great-grandfather, Antonio Tufano, lived in Acerra, and was born in that time range. I wonder if it's the same one? He named his daughter Angela - after his mother, maybe? I'm attaching my GEDCOM; e-mail me at greeneymorris@hotmail.com if you think we've got something here!

Hello, Lolla. My great-grandmother, Angela (Angelina Tufano) was born just outside of Naples and moved to New York early in the 1900's with her husband Ignazio Soriano. Angela's father was Antonio Tufano. Could we be related? If so, please e-mail me at greeneymorris@hotmail.com!

Gisseppi was my great grandfather who had 3 daughters called Maria Ausunda, Pauline and Anne, born in the early 1900's in Naples.
Maria came with her sisters to a convent in England when she was sixteen.
Maria, my grand mother, died in 1996 and I think her sister's died shortly afterwards.
Has anybody got anymore information on the Family in Italy, or fill in any of the gaps?

Tufano's Resturant

ltufano41 — 2002-04-29 19:11:28Z

I am the daughter of Lewis (Luigi Luchiano) Tufano. He is a cousin to the family who owns the Tufano resturant in Chicago. My father was born in 1908 in New York state. My grandfather's name is Anthony and he married Maddalena Daddio and they came from Naples. Their children are Lewis (known as Lou), Theresa ( Sparacino), Rose, Angie (Miller), and Charles (Chuckie/Charlie). Charles may still be living in S. California. My grandfather Tony was a barber and my grandmother Maddalena had a small grocery store.

My father's second marriage was to my mother, Mary D'Auria.
He was married previously to "Mamie" and had three children who are 8 - 12 years older than me. Their names are Madaline, Delores, and Anthony (Tony). I have met Tony several times but do not have any memory of my half sisters. Tony has a son who is a police officer in Chicago.

If anyone has information on this family I would greatly appreciate it. They all lived in the "Little Italy" section of Chicago near or on Taylor Street. I'm looking forward to hearing from you all.

My grandmother was Rosa Tufano. She came to Chicago in the early 1900's and married an Antonio Caturano in 1922. Interestingly, there is a restaurant in Chicago called "Tufano's". I took my dad there for his 70th birthday and, after conversing with the present owners (which are the grandson's of the restaurants' founder), it was determined that they were cousins of my Grandma Rosa. Rosa lived just outside of Napoli.

Antonio Mary Madalena Tufano

2001-01-16 11:00:49Z

I've saved researching my Italian line for last... boy is it tough!! From what I've been able to gather, though, most of the Tufanos actually hail from Acerra, which is outside of Naples... easier to mention a big city when asked where you're from, but it sure muddles up the research a few generations later! - My great-great grandparents were Antonio and Mary Madalena Tufano of Acerra. They produced all daughters: Giovanna, Inez, Rosa, and Angela. My great-grandmother Angela, born 12-23-1877 in Acerra, married Ignazio Soriano and subsequently emigrated to upstate NY. Don't know if this helps anybody, but hey, a little info is better than none at all!
