Teresa Arcuri(Graziano) from Carlopoli or Castagna Calabria

[dougmanning]

Teresa is my wifes Grandmother , the family say's she immagrated from Carlopoli to Canada then came with an Uncle? to utica NY .She was married at 15 so she would have been 10 or 12 when she came over--this is questionable ?They also say she was an orphan , but I have her Birth Cert which says mom was Giuseppina Colosimo and dad Giuseppe Arcuri..Real mystery ! We cannot find Canadian Crossing Records or Ship info that matches . we have a dead end--Can any one help ? She Married Vincenzo Graziano in 1903 in Utica NY--I have all info after that ...THANKS

I think I may have some info in a weird twist of fate .. my great great grandfather was actually convicted in 1905 for killing a man named Giussepe Arcuri in 1904 in Rossman, NY. May explain the orphan story as far as the father goes. Even stranger, while the killer Gabriel Talerico was in jail, his family lived in Utica...
Do you think we have a match ? my email is stevemilano2 at yahoo

If you would like a photo of the church in Carlopoli and the baptismal font they should be on my website, if not let me know and I will send to you.

Hello,

go to castagnisi.it site to see a family tree of the résidents of carlopoli and castagna, immigrants to Utica and Montréal as early as 1950, you will see names of arcuri and graziano. My grandfather is in the site Pancrazio De Fazio.

Good luck
