Hello Eric we have connected before. My family being one of those Noia lines. We are the Noia’s from the Santa Cruz, Flores line. Brothers Roberto Antonio Noia & Francisco Noia came to the USA. There is definitely 2 different Noia family sides in Antioch, CA area. I’m still trying to separate them out. Theresa
