Has anyone heard of the Facchina Family????

Question

Anybody know who the Facchinas are now? I think they live in the Maryland-Virginia area. I have also heard that some Facchinas might live in New Jersey???? Does anybody know the Italian History of the Facchinas? If they were a nobility family or what? Thanks!

Answer 1

There are several hundred scattered throughout the US.

Did you have any particular Facchinas in mind?

Answer 2

I have seen a few on the Soc Sec Death Index from Virginia, but most were from New York, Illinois, and DC.

I have also seen Facchinas from Venezia, Italy (late 1880s).

Answer 3

Here is a link to some family trees of the Facchina's from Italy, DC, MD and VA

Immigration records have several Facchina's from various Provinces in Italy, such as Potenza, Caserto, but mostly from the Province of Udine arriving in the US between 1892 - 1922.
