Badarocco/Badaracco

[mariemaye]

Looking for info on the Badarocco/Badaracco family. Do not know where they are from in Italy. I only know they emigrated to the US and lived on Staten Island and New Brunswick New Jersey.
Thanks!

Hi,

Spelling is probably Badaracco and there are many who immigrated through Ellis Island. I fyou would like to give us some more info (names, approximate age and/or date of immigration) we can better help direct your search.

This is what I know from my father. Francisco Badarocco/Badaracco (DOB: Jan. 1847) emigrated from Italy to the US in 1870 and lived in New Brunswick, NJ. He anglicized his name to Frank Broderick because Italians were not well liked. He married his wife, Angela, (DOB: March, 1854) also from Italy, in 1871. I do not know what Angela's maiden name is or where in Italy they are from. Francisco's other relatives emigrated and lived in Staten Island, NY. My father remembers going to visit them there.
On Ancestry.com, I have info on Frank and Angela from the 1880, 1895, 1900, 1910. and 1920 US censuses. All of their children were born in New Jersey. How can I possibly determine where in Italy they are from?? I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Marie

OMG!!! Tessa, that is great!! That's definitely him. He was a fruit vendor and apparently quite a character and well known around New Brunswick, NJ. Can we assume that the name is correctly spelled on the nat. card? Now how do I go back further to find out where in Italy he came from??

Thank you so much!!!!
Marie

Thanks, Michael, but according to all of the census info, it looks like he emigrated in 1870.

Michael is more right than wrong.. .......Go to www.castlegarden.org and put in Badaracco (correct spelling) and see that he came on the Fulda destined to San francisco on 9/18/1893 at NYC..... =Peter=

Hi Peter,
I'm pretty sure he emigrated in 1870. All of the censuses that he's in state 1870 and he was naturalized in 1876. All of this info is cross-checked. Do you think the name Badaraco is spelled wrong? Also, I see you're from NY. My father tells me that most of the Badaraco's settled in Staten Island, living together. He remembers that they worked for a book or publishing company. He said one was a cop. Also there were twins: Ginny or Mary? Anything I can do with this info??
Thanks,
Marie

Pink,
That's a great document (I think) but I can't read or write in Italian so I have no idea what it says! Is there anyway to have this translated into English?

Thanks for the info, Michael. I think you may be on to something there.

Mariemaye, one of my best friends has the last name Badaracco and he is VERY involved in his Italian ancestry... he even went back to the original village (the name escapes me) and met his relatives!

He was born in NJ, most of his family is in NJ... if you would like I would be happy to put you in contact with him. I see you live in Philly, he actually lives pretty close to you. Send me a private message I would be happy to help.
