thank you i will look into this. i am almost positive it is occhionero .only because they all came from ururi. and pasquale had a sister in law who married occhionero. but i will still investigate love this forum you are all FANTASTIC thank you so much
i will go back and start again i thank you so much for all the help you might be right about the spelling cacchione. i think i was just assuming because we are related to them also. ok so now i have a new surname to add to my list i thank you all so much
Cacchione and Occhionero are 2 different surnames.. but Occhionero is more typical of Ururi (arbëreshë town in Molise region).. in the ship's manifest the surname is Cacchione.. no doubts...
