just starting

[joycefaughnan]

I have just started looking for our family's ancestors. I am looking for the family of Thomas (Tomasso) Capraro born in 1882 and emigrated to Utica, NY in the early 1900'S. His wife was Josephine ( Pepina) Flori, daughter of Serafino and Angela Menna Flori. Aquino is the area we were told to look in. Can anyone help? Thanks

or write to Archivio di Stato di Frosinone

Here's a partial obituary of their son

Thursday, September 23, 2004
John T. Capraro, Sr. of Utica
Mr. John T. Capraro Sr., age 82, of Utica, passed away on Monday, September 20, 2004, at St. Luke's Memorial Hospital Center. His family tended him with great love and compassion during his illness. Born in Utica on June 24, 1922, John was the son of the late Thomas and Josephine (Flori) Capraro. He was raised and educated locally....

I liked this part the best...

Sharing an inseparable relationship characterized by their love and dedication, John and Mamie have created a life filled with happiness, dancing and devotion to one another and to family.

It is a detailed Obituary.... I will send it to you by private message...

note: on page 2 of Riccardo's found manifest - Tomaso was joining brother Francesco in Utica.
This Tomaso appears to be too old to be a match tho.
Also Tomaso (1882) didn't arrive until 5 May 1910,
this census page was taken on April 19th.
This Tomaso may be a cousin?

This is a very old post, but this family information is my own. Frank Capraro with with Angelina, daughter Rose, and son Thomas. Rose Capraro was my great grandmother.

[hartzogcl]

She was my great grandmother as well. I'm stuck with the same information you've already found. I'm Caroline's grandaughter.
