I was told that we were previously in either Sicily or Calabria "provinces"(?) of Italy.Surname originally was maybe "La Rocca".I couldn't find "Racca" in the Palermo, Sicily phone book when I went in 2011.
Brest is near Normandy.No surprise--the Normans seized Sicily about 1100.Presumably, one of them decided to return to his ancestral region with his Racca spouse.
I live in Lafayette, LA.
Au revoir cher cousins!
