Notes

In the 1930 census, James and Mary Fucci lived in West Mead Twp., Crawford Co., Pennsylvania. It says he was age 24 and born in New York but that could be misinformation from his wife. Other sources have led us to believe that he was born in Pennsylvania or Italy. Both their parents were born in Italy. He was a boiler maker for the Erie Railroad.

The only James I have been able to find in the U.S. previous to 1930 was the 1910 census for the same city. He is of the correct age, but his parents were Mike and Pasqual. It is possible that persons remembering the supposed names of his parents in his obituary were mixing it up with his wife's parents or grandparents instead.

There is a James Fucci living in Meadville City, Crawford Co., Pennsylvania in the 1920 census where he is listed at age 18 on the Jan. 18, 1920 date that the census was taken. He was the son of Frank Fucci age 48 and Pilue Fucci age 48, and his siblings were Ethel Fucci age 15, Mary Fucci age 11, and Thomas Fucci age 7 that also might be his parents instead. Everyone in the family was born in Italy. The father emigrated in 1902 and the rest came over in 1913.

James would have likely been born in 1901 or 1902 if his age is given correctly in this version. One of James' brothers might possibly be a Thomas J. Fucci also of Meadville, Pennsylvania. The main reason I have a doubt about it is that Thomas died in 1986 and James's obituary stated that he was preceded in death by 3 of his brothers.

Here is Thomas's wife's obituary in case he is a part of this family. "Carmella Fucci02/15/06 - (Meadville Tribune) Carmella Fucci, 93, of 31 Park Ave., Meadville, formerly of 9572 Franklin Pike, Meadville, rejoined her Lord Monday, Feb. 13, 2006, at Wesbury United Methodist Retirement Community. Mrs. Fucci was born in Meadville May 22, 1912, the daughter of the late Joseph and Mary Trotto Piccirillo. She retired from National Tel-Tronics. She also worked at the former Talon Inc. for 35 years. She loved being with her family, traveling, and playing heated card games. She was a role model for all who knew her. She married Thomas F. Fucci Sept. 22, 1934, at St. Mary of Grace Roman Catholic Church. He preceded her in death Oct. 8, 1986. She is survived by her son, John Fucci of Erie; and three daughters, Pauline Markey and her husband, Lee, of Meadville, Kathy DeSantis and her husband, Gary, of Meadville, and Debbie Dougherty and her husband, Mike, of Erie. She is also survived by 10 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas; her granddaughter, Camrie DeSantis-VonRitter, her namesake; two brothers, John and Nick Piccirillo; two sisters, Mary Capone and Katie Perotto; and her daughter-in-law, Nancy Fucci. Friends are invited to call Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. at Byham-Miller-Mizner Funeral Home Inc., 404 Chestnut St., Meadville, where a scripture service will be conducted at 7:30 p.m. with Father David Findlay, pastor of St. Brigid Roman Catholic Church.Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Brigid Roman Catholic Church, 383 Arch St., Meadville, at 10 a.m. Friday, with Father David Findlay as celebrant.Burial will be in St. Brigid Cemetery, West Mead Township."
