My grandfather Dante Graziani came over when he was a teenager. This must have been in the early 1920's. He was from North Italy near Florence.

Re: Ralph and Philimina Cusitrone Graziani

rainbo77 — 2010-07-12 22:49:31Z

Yes, I am still here. As I mentioned, I have no idea if the Graziani members of my family came from any area of Italy other than Bisceglie, Bari, Puglia. The Graziani family member that I have been in contact with remained in Italy. But those from the Ferrarese-Logoluso families settled in Fresno and Madera, CA. Thanks for responding.

JSteele5607 — 2010-07-12 08:04:51Z

Are you still there? My graziani's are from Lucca commune in Toscana. Giacomo son of Ferrante and Margherita. They went to Tennessee and finally to California in San Mateo County. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I haven't been keeping up with my genealogy lately but plan to get active soon.

Hi, Suzy,
Norma and my grandmother, Annie Margaret Graziani, were sisters and must have been very close, as my grandmother talked about her all the time. I'll be happy to share what I have managed to find. You can contact me privately at pgrivers(a)comcast.net and we can compare what we know about the family. Thanks, Pattie

Ella was my great grandmother. Norma was my granny. Her oldest daughter my mother. I know names of some members of granny's children and Uncle Richard's child and would be happy to help you if you can help me. This is kind of a break through for me. Thanks Suzy

Re: Data that might be pertinent to Charles

rainbo77 — 2009-08-07 08:59:08Z

Gilberto: Repeating names down through the generations is not specific only to the Graziani's, as I am sure you know. It creates a real nightmare....they were not very creative in naming their children. (My Graziani connection is from Bisceglia, Bari, Puglia, Italy. I'd love to know if there is any connection to the Jean Marie lineage.) The other half of my lineage is Spanish...they are just as bad, or worse. I have found interest in your various postings regarding the origins of the Graziani name...thank you for sharing.

Re: Graziani family

rainbo77 — 2009-08-07 08:32:54Z

Hi Portia: What part of Southern Italy? I have Graziani family members that were from Bisceglia, Bari, Puglia, Italy, which is in Southern Italy. My great-aunt Ippolita Logoluso married Tomaso Graziani. They moved from Bisceglia to Ortona (or Otona), and their son Renato lives in Montesilvano, Italy. Does this sound familiar?

If you have not heard from Marge Blankenship regarding that old photo, this may be her current e-mail address: carmar@acsalaska.net.
It was her valid address in 2007, which was her most recent posting to any message board. Hope this helps.
I have Graziani members in my family, but I am told that they are all still in Italy. My great aunt married a Graziani in Bisceglia, Bari, Puglia, Italy.

Have you tried to locate and view her death certificate? Most states indicate the parent's names and place of birth on the death certificate, when known. Another good fee-based source is vitalrec.com and Find A Grave.com

Re: Ralph and Philimina Cusitrone Graziani

rainbo77 — 2009-08-07 07:02:45Z

Hi, Judy: From what part of Italy are your Graziani family roots. My grandmother's sister married a Graziani, but after my grandmother came to America, the Graziani family moved from Bisceglia, Bari to Otono (or Ortono). I don't know if any of that family came to America. As you know, sadly, everyone used the same names to name their children, so it's difficult to know if someone is who one thinks they are. I do not know if the Graziani family was originally from some area other than Bisceglia, Bari. I have been in contact with one of their great-grandsons, but he has not been very clear about any Graziani family members coming to America. And, YES, the Ellis Island site is wonderful and loaded with information. (I just wish some of the transcribers had been more careful: example: check out all the Lui's or Liu's that came from Italy. The word "son" was interpreted as the last name of Lui or Liu-forget which.) None-the-less, I'm eternally grateful for their efforts.

Thank you!!!

I am looking for information on my great-great grandfather Luis Graciani and his father Andres Graciani, both from Corcega.

She married Pedro Martinez and lived in Rosario Bajo, San German, Puerto Rico. Their daugther was my grandmother Emerita Martinez Graciani, who was born est. 1920.

Nicole
Have you found out where in Italy the family is from? Did Angelo come from there? The Ellis Island site is very helpful.
If he was naturalized, you should try to find his papers. I think they are kept with the county he filed in. If not, you could try the National Archives. They also have census lists which could be helpful.
I'm sorry I haven't been checking this board. Since I retired I don't seem to have time. Isn't that strange?

My grandfather was John F. Barkshadt. He was married twice. Mary Barkshadt and Sally Boltin Barkshadt. All are deceased. He had several brothers that lived in Memphis Tenn. I think they are deceased . You may want to search Barkshadts in those two states and contact them to se if they can help you. My grandfather was born in Germany and entered the US at Ellid Island. He died in 1929& was born in 1859. He is buried in Greenville SC.I fell sure there is some connection here because there are not that may Barkshadts around.

Corrections to Reply 2-20-04

WandaHowell38 — 2004-02-21 02:24:30Z

I left out the two states where my grandfather JF Barkshadt's relatives live. Check the Barkshadts in Atlanta Ga. and here are some in other parts of Ga. Elizabeth Barkshadt may be one of his sisters. I have tried to find some info on my grandfather but no sucess. The Barkshadt's in Ga had an address listed in the white pages site. I would like to know if you have any suces in finding your family. I know he had a brother Fred and William. There is a JA and a WC Barkshadt that you may find listed.They were his sons. JA lives in Kirkland Wa. and WC in Greenville SC but he is deceased.
