Received an email from James Sugar of North Carolina. He is my
second cousin, son of Ed Sugar, and grandson of my Great uncle
Carmelo F Nicotra. He learnt of this website through his son's
web surfing. It is always great to meet new people around the
globe and it's really special to make contact with a new
relative. I will call him later today. |

 Salvatore Nicotra B 12 Dec 1938 D 28 Jan
2008. It is always a sad time when I have to report on the
passing of a relative. It's a very surreal feeling when I run
the family tree software and go to enter a Death. Memories flood
back of that particular person and on the impact that they had
on your life. Salvo was a great cousin. I remember when I
was a child with my parents visiting Sicily in 1968 and the fun
and excitement of being part of Salvos engagement and wedding
with Graziella. I also remember on subsequent visits throughout
the years watching his family grow and the special bond Salvo
had with my father and the generous nature of his being. Even on
our own honeymoon visit to Sicily in 1991 I remember Salvo gave
us his own master bedroom in his house for us to stay. We have
many photos and videos spanning the decades with Salvo and his
family. He will be missed. |

Went to visit Giuseppe Nicotra (Rocco's Uncle) to determine the
family linage. Unfortunately this linage is not the descendant
of my Great uncle Rocco I have been searching but none the less
the chances are very high we are related further back along the
family tree. Giuseppe had an official document from the Commune
of Linguaglossa which gave much valuable information on all
family members back to his grandfather Giuseppe Nicotra (Born
3 Apr 1859 Linguaglossa) and Grandmother Caterina Vecchio
(Born 16 Feb 1862 Linguaglossa). His great grand father was
Carmelo Nicotra and GG mother Concetta Mangano. This family tree
also provides branches out to New York (Concetta,
Salvatore and Egidia Nicotra) and Buenos Aires (Carmelo
Nicotra B 5 Dec 1891) |

Got an email from Rocco Nicotra who I met in my Willoughby
Sydney computer store in the late 90's. There is a distinct
possibility that Rocco may be the missing link, the descendant
of my great uncle Rocco Nicotra born Linguaglossa Sicily 4 July
1873. |

Contacted Tony Nicotra (Sydney) whose name was given to me by
chance by his wife's aunty Victoria whilst my wife was in
hospital some months ago. Also spoke to his sister Sarina who
recently returned from Linguaglossa. Their father was Giuseppe
and great Grand father Antonio were also from Linguaglossa. Hmm
another possible family connection. |
