from Nicotera, Catanzaro, Calabria, Italy
Nicotera is now a comune in Vibo Valentia, Calabria. It was formerly part of the Province of Catanzaro, Calabria. An Italian national law in March of 1992 and coming into effect 1 January 1996 created the Province of Vibo Valentia.
Finding the link to how I am related to the Cioffi family is possible because of cousins, Vi Siegel and Curt Rimler.
Thank you for sharing your family history.
Vincenzo Cioffi was born in Marina Nicotera in 1906. He immigrated to America and New York in 1920. He married Elvira Del Grippa in New York in 1934 and from this marriage were born, Annette, Violet and Salvatore.
