1      Document Overview

This document is a portion of the genealogy of the Ragucci Family.  Its focus is on tracing the ancestors of Joseph & Rose Ragucci and Rosalie Ragucci-Cook from the Lombardo families.   Although the focus will be on “blood” relatives and not in-laws or adopted members of the families, these individuals will be identified wherever possible.

 

The following may help to understand what is contained in the rest of this document: 

A “kinship” overview chart of the Lombardo family from the perspective of Rosalie Ragucci-Cook can be seen as Appendix A.   The chart has the following form:

Table 1: Kinship Chart

 

The chart shows relationship from the box labeled “YOU” to everyone else.  Each row is a separate generation and you move outward from this box to more distant relatives.  Each box is labeled with the relationship of persons in that box to the person in the “YOU” box. 

 

The document is organized as follows:

Ψ  The document starts with overview of the Lombardo family’s history

Ψ  This is followed by an identification of the various family units within the Lombardo family starting from the top right (the most distant relatives) to the bottom left (the closest relatives).  Each family unit consists of a parent and their children. 

Ψ  This is followed by information on each person within the family unit, once again starting from the top right to the bottom left.  Thus each person is described both as a child in one family unit and then as a parent in the next generation.

Ψ  The document ends with the overall family kinship chart, a generation chart, and a listing of family members and their spouses.

 

2      Lombardo Family History

The Lombardo family has their roots in the town of Marsala in the province of Trapani in Sicily, Italy.  This town is on the east coast of Sicily on the Mediterranean Sea just across the Strait of Tunis from Tunisia in Northern Africa.   The family moved from Marsala to Brooklyn, NY with stop-overs in Tunis, Tunisia and Beloit, Wisconsin.  From Brooklyn, NY the family migrated to other parts of the US.

 

The information found in this family history comes from 2 primary sources.  The first is the immigration records of Ellis Island which provide information on individuals who entered the USA at Ellis Island, NY.  The second source is living members of these families (who in many cases have collaborated the Ellis Island records) while providing information on the families after they arrived in the USA. 

2.1    Lombardo Family Tree

There are 6 generations of Lombardo that are traced in this document.  The “kinship” overview chart found in Appendix A identifies the individuals and family units in relation to Rosalie Ragucci-Cook.  The generations are labeled in reference to Rosalie’s generation (which is Generation 0).

 

The following chart identifies the various Lombardo family units and the individuals who belong to them.  Each person is identified by an [ID] number for easy reference.   The family unit will be identified by the ID of the parent.  Individuals who were not married are not identified with a family unit.  Note that spouses of family units are identified but they will be described as individuals in their own blood-related Family.

Table 3 – Lombardo –4th Generation Family

 

2.2.1  Generation –4th:  Family in Marsala, Italy

Most of the information found for this generation family unit is obtained from the Ellis Island records of the children who immigrated to the USA.   Since the Great-Great Grandparents remained in Italy, and they were not mentioned in the Ellis Island record, the names of this generation of the parents are unknown.   There are no living members of this generation.

 

Although parents in this generation of Lombardo’s remained in Marsala, Italy, their son, Guiseppe Lombardo, immigrated to the US in 1913 at the age of 38.  We don’t  have a record of any other of their children.   Sometime before this Guiseppe moved his family from Sicily just across the Mediterranean Sea to Tunis, Tunisia in search of work.  It is not clear which generation initially moved to Tunis.

2.2.2  Generation –4th: Memories

No memories or photographs have been found for this generation of the family.

2.3    Generation –3rd: Family Travels to America

The earliest generation of the family that we have any information on is 3 generations before Rosalie Ragucci-Cook (her great grandparents and their children).  The parents are typically born in the range 1870-1890 and the children are typically born in the range 1900-1920.

 

The family group in this -3rd generation is shown in the following chart.  It consists of the great grandparents plus their children:

Figure 4 – Lombardo –3rd Generation Families

2.3.1  Generation –3rd: Family Travels to America

The Ellis Island records contain information about this generation since this generation because they and their children begin the immigration from Italy to America.  There is 1 living members of this family unit – Rosalia Lombardo Ciaccio.  In addition, since this generation are grandparents and parents of the living members of the family, there is a wealth of information that can be obtained from living sources. 

 

The parents of this generation family unit were born in Marsala, Italy in the 1870’s.  Guiseppe and Maria were married in Marsala sometime after 1897 (when Giacamo was adopted and Maria’s first husband died) and before 1907 when Maria and Guiseppe’s first child, Vita, was born.  Guiseppe moved his family from Sicily just across the Mediterranean Sea to Tunis, Tunisia in search of work.  This move to Tunis took place before 1907 when their first child was born.  Guiseppe and Maria had 3 children while in Tunis – Vita (Lena) in 1907, Guiseppe Jr. in 1910, and Rosalia in 1912. In 1913 at age of 38 Guiseppe immigrated from Tunis to Beloit, Wisconsin via Ellis Island, NY.  The family followed him to Beloit in 1918.  In 1920 the family moved again from Beloit to Brooklyn, NY while they remained.  Maria died in 1938. Guiseppe died in 1952.

There are 3 family units in this generation. Early information about this generation is obtained from the Ellis Island records since the parents of this generation were born in Italy and immigrated to America.  The children of this generation were married in the USA.  A great deal of information can be obtained from living sources since the children (and some of the parents) are still living.

 

The family unit headed by Vita (Lena) Lombardo Ceppo and Pietro (Peter) Ceppo are Rosalie’s Great-Aunt Lena and Great Uncle Pete.  Lena was born in Tunis, Tunisia (verify) in Dec 31, 1907, the first child of Guiseppe and Anna Lombardo.  She immigrated to the US in 1918 at the age of 11 traveling with her mother Anna, her adopted brother Giacomo (Jack), her brother Guiseppe (Joe) and sister Rosalia (Rose).  On arriving in the US, the family moved to Beloit, Wisconsin where their father was working and then moved to Brooklyn, NY in 1920 where the extended family had settled.   Sometime before 1930, Lena married her 2nd cousin Peter Ceppo. Two children were born of this marriage, Francis (Fran) in 1930 and Louis (Louie) in 1944.  In the late 1940’s they purchased a bungalow in Copaigue, Long Island to get away from the city on weekends.   Eventually they converted this into a 2 story house and moved there in c her until their death in 1985 and 1999, respectively.

 

The family unit headed by Guiseppe (Joe) Lombardo and Aqualina (Lena) O’Maggio Lombardo are Rosalie’s Great Uncle Joe and Great Aunt Lena.   Joe was born in Tunis in 1910 and moved with the family from Tunis, to Beloit, WI and then to Brooklyn, NY.  In ____ Joe married Lena.  Two children were born of this marriage, Joseph in 1942 and Corrado in 1946.  They moved from Brooklyn to Flushing, NY where they stayed for the remainder of their life.

 

The family unit headed by Rosalia (Rose) Lombardo Ciaccio and Anthony Ciaccio are the grandparents of Rosalie.   Rose was born in Tunis, Tunisia in March 6, 1912 and moved with the family from Tunis, to Beloit, WI and then to Brooklyn, NY.  [ say something about living in same apartment as sister..] Rose married Anthony on Jan 25, 1948 .  One child was born of this marriage, Rose in 1949.   They moved from Brooklyn, NY to Colonia, NY in May 18, 1955 following the move of Anthony’s job to NJ.  They remained there until Anthony’s death in 1976.  A year later Rose (the mother) moved into her daughter Rose’s home in Carteret, NJ and then followed them to Edison, NJ.  In July 1995 she moved into a nursing home in Clark, NJ after a stoke left her unable to walk and care for herself where she currently resides.

 

The adopted brother Giacomo (Jack) Prato was always part of the family.  He was born in Marsala, Italy, adopted by Maria and moved with the family to Tunis, then to Beloit, WI and finally to Brooklyn, NY.  He married Francis (?) and moved to Flatbush, NY.   They had no children.  After her death in 1963 he refinished the upstairs of his sister Rose’s home in Colonia, NJ and moved there for 18 months.  He then purchased a tiny home across the street from his sister Lena in Copaigue, NY and lived there until his death in 198x.
