My great grandfather was adopted in Louisianna in 1888 by Ferdinand and Elizabeth Nobles Luchini. His baptism certificate said he was an orphan child named Joseph Fiero Avanti. I have searched for fiero name and not seen it until these posts. Do you know of any connection to your Fiero's? Thank you, Renee Mueller Please email at [email protected]
