My grandfather, Pietro Galluccio lived in Providence R.I. That is the only info I have about him... I would like to know if there are any relatives still living in the area. I am from Montreal Qc. My grandfather left my grandmother and her son, my father, when he was a baby in Italy (Galluccio) I never knew my grandfather... only that he remarried and lived in Providence R.I. I would like to know more. Do I have aunts? Cousins? Please e-mail me...

Dear Steve Galluccio:

Although my maternal Grandfather Galluccio lived in Brooklyn, NY, he came from a village called Tufino (sp.?) near Naples. His name was Domenic (Domenico) and until the last few years I never heard of anyone else with that name. He was born in the late 1800's and came to NY at age 17. I found the ship's manifest on the Ellis Island website.

So, perhaps they were related way back. Wish I could be of more help.
