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 Ragucci 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.  Note that the correct spelling of the name – Ricucci – is used by earliest ancestors. 

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

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

Generations	KINSHIP CHART
-6	4th great grandparents (64)
-5	3rd great grandparents (32)						3rd great grand uncles/aunts
-4	great-great grandparents (16)					2nd great grand uncles/aunts	1st cousins 4x removed

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:

Ø The document starts with overview of the Ragucci family’s history

Ø This is followed by an identification of the various family units within the Ragucci 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. 

Ø 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.

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

2 Ricucci / Ragucci Family History

The Ricucci  (Ragucci) family has their roots in the town of Monte Sant’Angelo in the province of Gargano in Italy.  This town is at the top of a mountain on the west coast of Italy on the Adriatic Sea directly west of Naples.  It’s “claim to fame” is that it has been a shrine to St. Michael the Archangel since 493 when St. Michael appeared in the grotto.   The family moved from Monte Sant’Angelo to Elizabeth, NJ, Yonkers, NY, Derby, Conn and finally Port Reading, NJ.  From Port Reading, NJ some of the family has migrated to other parts of the US but staying primarily in New Jersey. It should be noted that the Family name in Italy was Ricucci but was incorrectly changed to Ragucci when the children started attending school in Port Reading, NJ.

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 Ricucci / Ragucci Family Tree

There are 6 generations of Ricucci (Ragucci) 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 Ricucci / Ragucci 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 blood relative 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. Note: Ragucci’s are represented by ID=1000-1999.  Blood relatives end with 0.

Table 2: Family Units and Individuals

The same family is identified in the form of a family tree in Appendix B.   A complete listing of these individuals can be found in Appendix C.

2.2 Generation –4^th: Family in Italy

The earliest generation of the family that we can trace is 4 generations before Rosalie Ragucci-Cook (her great-great grandparents) which becomes the root of the Ricucci / Ragucci family.  The names of these great-great grandparents were identified via the Ellis Island records, they were most likely born in the range 1850- 1870 and their children were most likely born in the range 1870-1890.  

The family group in this -4^th generation is shown in the following chart.  It consists of the great-great grandparents plus their children:

-4^th Generation	Great-Great Grandfather Dominico Ricucci and Angelina ? Ricucci
-3^rd Generation	Great Grandfather Guiseppe Ricucci	Great grand uncle Antonio Ricucci	Great grand uncle Matteo Ricucci	Great grand uncles Michelle Ricucci	Great grand aunt Maria Ricucci Diurno

Table 3 – Ricucci –4^th Generation Family

2.2.1 Generation –4^th:  Family in Monte Sant’Angelo, 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.   Although the Great-Great Grandparents remained in Italy, the mother (Angela) was mentioned in the Ellis Island record of her son Antonio.   Also, the father’s name is known to be Dominico because Guiseppe names his first son by this name in honor of his father.  Note that his 1^st male child died in birth and was called Dominic as is the 2^nd male child who survived. There are no living members of this generation.

Although parents in this generation of Ragucci’s remained in Monte Sant’Angelo, Italy, two of their children, Guiseppe and Antonio Ricucci, immigrated to the US and two others Matteo and Michele Ricucci worked the the US for some period of time but eventually returned to the family in Monte Sant’Angelo.  These children were visited in Monte Sant’Angelo by their nieces and nephews from the USA several times.

2.2.2 Generation –4^th: Memories

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

2.3 Generation –3^rd: 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 groups in this -3^rd generation is shown in the following chart.  It consists of the great grandparents, great grand aunts and uncles, plus their children:

-3^rd Generation	Great Grandfather Guiseppe Ricucci and Grazia Tomaiuolo Ricucci
-2^nd Generation	Grandfather Dominic Ragucci	Grand aunt Angelina Ragucci Ciuffreda	Grand uncle Anthony Ragucci	Grand aunt Mary Ragucci

Figure 4 – Ricucci / Ragucci –3rd Generation Families

2.3.1 Generation –3^rd: Family Travels to America

The Ellis Island records contains information about this generation because they began the immigration from Italy to America.  Although the parents of this generation are deceased, most of the children are still living.    Thus, there is a wealth of information that can be obtained from living sources. 

A timeline of travel of this generation from Monte Sant’Angelo to the US maybe worthwhile:

As you can see, Michelle and Matteo traveled several times between their home in Italy and the US.  During that time they resided in Port Reading and Elizabeth, NJ, Newburg and Yonkers, NY, probably following where work was available.  We know that the railroad existed in both Port Reading and Elizabeth because that’s where Giuseppe and Antonio eventually settled while working on the railroad. Antonio came to the US with his older brother Matteo in 1911 to his eventual

The family unit headed by Guiseppe and Grazia are Rosalie’s Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother.  They were both born in Monte Sant’Angelo, Italy and were married there we believe in 1912 before Guiseppe immigrated to the US in May 1913. 

Update from here…

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.

2.4.1 Generation –2^nd: First generation Italian-Americans

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) Ragucci 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 Ragucci.  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 2^nd 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.
