Re: Descendants of?

dsoleihl — 2012-05-04 02:37:24Z

My Maiden name is Cartelami (originaly Cartalemi). It was also believed in my family that the name was changed during immigration, but found that to be untrue as my grandfather and his brother were both born in NJ and they each spelled the name differently. Cartalemi, however, is the correct spelling as that is the spelling my great grand parents used. Relatives of both versions are in contact and confirmed our grandfathers are brothers. If you would like we could go down the family tree and see how we are related. So far everyone w/ either spelling has been linked back to my great grand parents and we're finding more every year.

What could Carta be abbreviated from?

MrAustinFTW — 2012-03-07 04:06:36Z

My great grandmother was completely Sicilian and had the last name Carta, and my dad remembers it as having been abbreviated from something, but not even my grandfather (her son) remembers what it was. Her name was Rose, and she was born in 1919 and passed away on her 87th birthday in 2006. I don't remember the date at the moment, but it was her birthday. She married Edgar Bruce Barrett who died decades before her, and had a few children, two of whom I know of, Bruce Edward Barrett (My Grandfather) and Eva Barrett. Any help would be appreciated.

My great-great gradfather was Daniele Locche who lived in montalbano Sicily. My great-gradfather Francesco Locche came to the USA in 1901 and our name was changed to Loccke.
We were always told that Daniele was a Police officer in Sardegna and sent to Sicily. Do you have any information?

Translation:
Il mio gran-gran gradfather era Daniele Locche che viveva a Montalbano Sicilia. La mia grande-gradfather Francesco Locche è venuto negli Stati Uniti nel 1901 e il nostro nome è stato cambiato in Loccke.
Eravamo sempre detto che Daniele era un ufficiale di polizia in Sardegna e inviato in Sicilia. Avete qualche informazione?

Hi,
My name is Gary Carta. Born in Cuba of Spaniard father & mother, from the Canary Island. Live in Valencia, Ca. Have found Carta/Cartas all over the world but still not a common surname and all of us seem to have the same origin: Italy ( Sardinia & South Sicily ) or Corcega (North of Sardinia ) LOt of Carta in Sardinia, where the surname is almost common in certain counties, quite a few in Sicily, few in Corcega. Over Western Europe not a lot, but still some ( Spain, UK. England, Portugal & Germany. Quite a bit
in the US, East,West & South. My e-mail Is bkpk@sbcglobal.net. Welcome to big Carta family, I really believe that all of us are somehow connected. Take care.

Re: Descendants of?

CCartelami1 — 2008-04-13 20:51:45Z

I am a Cartelami. I found that when my relatives came to NY, the name was changed from Cartalemi. I think most of the names Carta, Carte, Cartel, etc lead back to Cartalemi.

I am a relative of Benedetto Cartalemi.

Hi Walter,

Since your posting is so old I realize you might not be able to help me but I thought I would chance it anyhow. I am looking for information on a Salvatore Carta who married a Sebastiana Ripa in Melilli. What I am looking for is birth dates, dates of death, or any information on their parents. Time frame on these two individuals would probably be sometime in the middle 1800's. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: carta SURNAME - To Walter Carta

This message is adressed to Walter Carta, but if has someone who can help me, I'll thankful.

Walter, I read that you live in a Sardinian Village where there are a lot of Carta people. I'm descendent of Carmela Carta, who was born in somewhere in Sadinian between 1867-1869, and imigrated to Brasil in 1896. She is Giuachino's daughter, and I think she lived near from Cagliari or Quartu Sant'Elena, becaus my GGfather, who was sardinian too, was from Quartu Sant'Elena. I found her born in these cities but they don't have it. If someone can help me I'll grateful.
Her mother's name was Narcisa IBBA (or something like that)

Re: carta surname

bkpk — 2002-05-12 02:40:48Z

Hi,

I was born in Cuba, of Spaniard father & Mother, My grandfather was Guglielmo Carta, from Corcega. He
told me that he came from Sardinia (Italy) to Corcega
and then went to Tenerife, in Spain. Have found a lot
of Carta in Sardinia, some in Catania, some in Corcega
and a little less in Spain (more in tha Canary Islands, very
few in Spain's mainland) Was surprised to find quite a bit
in TX, NM and a few all over the South. Seems most of
them directly from Italy, but still way back. Some came
from Spain in pre-revolutionary days and were really well
established. There's mention of a Cartas involved heavely
in merchant trade in Vermont. Bottom line, is an not so
common surname in the Western hemisphere, haven't had
access to Central/South American databases, but suspect
there must be a few in Argentina, that was heavily populated
by italians. Glad to be of help. Iam in California, north of Los
Angeles.

Re: Carta Loche cognome

Prezada Adriana, efetivamente o oognome Loche, com as suas variante Lochi, Locchi, Locche é relativamente comum na Sardegna. Loche é a grafia mais usada. Encontra-se em toda a Sardegna mas é mais encontrado no Campidano ou seja na parte sudeste da ilha entre Cagliari e Oristano. Eu nasci nel paese de NURACHI (provincia di Oristano) mas meu pai era natural de SAN VERO MILIS uma dezena de Km mais aou norte, e meu avô era de Oristano uma cidade que está na foz do maior rio da Sardegna o Tirso. Eu assino Lochi porque na Anagrafe erraram a grafia.
Saudações

I've been looking for the last name of Carta for some time now. My grandfather is an immagrant from Italy his family setting up in Middleton CT. My grandfather then came to Kentucky where I am now. I believe somehow that the names are related. I've heard the name might have been changed. I wish I had more information but I can't seem to find any.

My family is also from Melilli. My great-grandparents were Ignazio & Rosa Carta. The name Carta is somewhat common in Melilli. Our relatives settled in Middletown, CT as did many from Melilli.
Do you know when they married? I might be able to find their marriage certificate if you give me a date range. I have many films from Melilli through the Family History Library. Please write back to me at cartaj@edaw.com

The surname Carta is fairly common all over Italy, especially on the island of Sardenia. My ancestors come from Melilli, Siciliy and that name is somewhat common there as well. Josephine (Giuseppa in Italian) is also a common name as I'm finding. If your grandmother died in the states, you might find her town of birth on that certificate, or from older family members. There's not much you can do unless you know the town she is from.
