My grandfather was one of the founding members of it in Altoona, PA in
the early 1900's but know little of it. From what I understand it is
make up of individuals from the Campania region and those specifically
from the city of Buccino. I've done google searches on it with no luck.
I would be curious to see if anyone knows of it.

I can't tell where you are from your email address, but you might try making
a contact with the society itself.

I live in Cleveland, Ohio and was curious to see if there were any more
chapters in the US. I know of at least one in South America. Another
cousin has been trying to get information about that but with little
luck.
Thanks!

You can do a search in the Yellow Pages, for Buccinese, for each US state,
one by one, but you will only find the one in Altoona, PA.
Here is a site you can use to see the distribution of a surname in Italy and
in the USA.
And you can use the Italy telephone directory on the Internet at
http://www.infobel.com/italy/ to find a surname listing in each town in
Italy.
There are some municipal listings in Buccino, Italy for Buccino, but only
one residential listing for Buccino. There are no Buccini listings in
Buccino. But there may be some in nearby towns. Is your grandfather's
surname Buccini?
Good luck on further searches.

I don't know much about the society, just that it was named after
Buccino, the town where my grand father was from. I'm guessing the
others on the charter were from there or other cites in the Campania
region...
Some of the other names on that list are, Fasano, Prezioso, Caputo (my
maternal grand mother's, mother's maiden name) Fatigante, Marasco,
DiLeo, Colucci, Fernicola, Sciarillo, Salimbene, Galucci, Faiello,
Dauria, Nitto, Pucciariella (the husband of my grand father's sister)
Fatigante, Fasano, Ventre, Lepore, Trimarco, Adamo, Robertazzo.
I'm sure many of those names aren't spelled the same today or were
correct in the spelling to begin with.
It would be interesting to see how many others are from that region.
