Collorafi Family Generations

 

Descendants of Colorofe Cullurafi

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

1.  COLOROFE¹ CULLURAFI died Unknown.

 

Notes for COLOROFE CULLURAFI:

This is a PRETEND ANCESTOR that I placed here in order to be able to show all of the Collorofe/Collorofi/Cullurafi families that were found in the census of Militello, San Piero Patti, Patti & Librizzi in 1681 and 1714.  I do not know if Giac and Don Cullurafi are brothers.  They could even be the same person since there are no wives or dates mentioned in the census of Militello, San Piero Patti, Patti or Librizzi!

Perhaps we will know more someday, or perhaps we will not.  I did not want these early ancestors "lost in history" because I did not know how to correctly place them.

       

Children of COLOROFE CULLURAFI are:

2.                i.       DON² CULLURAFI, b. Abt. 1590; d. Unknown.

3.               ii.       GIAC COLOROFE, b. Abt. 1620; d. Unknown.

                 iii.       FRANCINA COLLOROFE, b. San Piero Patti, Sicilia; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for FRANCINA COLLOROFE:

Franchina is found in the census of San Piero Patti for 1681.  There is no other information given for her, as to age, parents, birthdate, etc.  I have placed her here only so that we can know of her.  I do not know if this is her family.  We do not see her in the census of S.P.P. for 1714.

 

                 iv.       VINCENZO COLLORAFI, b. San Piero Patti, Sicilia; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for VINCENZO COLLORAFI:

I have placed Vincenzo with this family so that he can be in our tree.  I know nothing about him except that he was in the census of San Piero Patti in 1681 and not in 1714.  We also have his signature.  He must have been some sort of official for the census or town.

 

                  v.       MERCUIRO COLOROFI, b. San Piero Patti, Sicilia; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for MERCUIRO COLOROFI:

We find mention of Mercuiro in the census of San Piero Patti in 1681. He is not there in 1714.  I suspect that he is the same person mentioned as Mario Colorifi in the census of Patti in 1714,

 

                 vi.       MARIO COLLORAFE, b. Patti, Sicilia; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for MARIO COLLORAFE:

We read of Mario Colorofi in the census of Patti in 1715.  There are no members of our family mentioned in 1681.  I suspect that this Mario is the same person as Mercuriro Collorofe that is in the San Piero Patti census for 1681.  I have placed him with this family only in order to mention him in our tree.  I do not know his real relationship since no parents are given.  The actual page for his household listing is missing.

 

 

Generation No. 2

 

2.  DON² CULLURAFI (COLOROFE¹) was born Abt. 1590, and died Unknown.  He married ELIZABETTA.  She died Unknown.

 

Notes for DON CULLURAFI:

We find the names of Placio's parents on his census record in Librizzi in 1681.  The name is entered as "Don".  I am guessing  his birth date based on the ages given for his two sons.  We see that both Placido and Rosario, in the census of Librizzi in 1681 have Don and Elizabetta Culluraffi as their parents - no ages are given for them, nor a first name for "Don" or a surname for Elizabetta.   This Don, could even be, in fact, "Giac".  Don is a title of nobility that carries on in this family for many generations.  Donna is also a title given to some of our early female ancestors.

       

Children of DON CULLURAFI and ELIZABETTA are:

4.                i.       PLACIDO³ CULLURAFI, b. 1631, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

5.               ii.       ROSARIO CULLURAFI, b. 1624, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

 

 

3.  GIAC² COLOROFE (COLOROFE¹ CULLURAFI) was born Abt. 1620, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for GIAC COLOROFE:

We find reference to Giac in the Militello census of 1681. It is an interesting name since it is the Sicilian version of the French, Jacque.  The north-east section of Sicily where the Patti and Militello areas are situated, has a very strong Norman (French speaking) influence. He is mentioned as the father of both Francesco Colorofe and Maccleo Colorofe.  He may be the Giac living in the household of Francesco.  However, no ages are given, nor are the relationships specified, as they are in the early census of Librizzi.  Remember, the Colorofe/Cullurafi mentioned as his parent and that of Don Cullurafi, are there only so that we can show all of the early ancestors that we have found in Sicilia.

       

Children of GIAC COLOROFE are:

6.                i.       FRANCESCO³ COLOROFE, b. Abt. 1655, Militello, Sicilia; d. Unknown.

7.               ii.       MACCLEO COLOROFE, b. Abt. 1656, Militelo, Sicilia; d. Unknown.

 

 

Generation No. 3

 

4.  PLACIDO³ CULLURAFI (DON², COLOROFE¹) was born 1631 in Librizzi, Sicily, and died Unknown.  He married MARIA.  She died Unknown.

       

Children of PLACIDO CULLURAFI and MARIA are:

8.                i.       DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, b. Abt. 1645, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

                  ii.       PLACIDO CULLURAFI, b. Abt. 1651; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for PLACIDO CULLURAFI:

We read about Placido and his age, with his parents identified in the census of Librizzi for 1681.

 

                 iii.       FRANCO CULLURAFI, b. Abt. 1656, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for FRANCO CULLURAFI:

We read of Franco, with his age given, in the census of Librizzi for 1681.  His father's name is also given.  Franco and Placido are on a seperate census form from the rest of the family.  Perhaps they live in another house or their age determines that they are taxed seperately.

 

                 iv.       GIUSEPPE CULLURAFI, b. 1671, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Bef. 1714.

 

Notes for GIUSEPPE CULLURAFI:

We know about Giuseppe and his age and parents from the census of Librizzi for 1681.  His name is given as GIU, son, which, I believe stands for Giuseppe.  Names were often abreviated in the census.

 

                  v.       ANTONONIO CULLURAFI, b. 1679, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for ANTONONIO CULLURAFI:

Antonino is living with his parents and his age is given in the census of Librizzi for 1681.

 

                 vi.       GIOVAINI CULLURAFI, b. 1675, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for GIOVAINI CULLURAFI:

We read Giovaini and his parents names, and her age in the census of Librizzi in 1681.

 

                vii.       GIOVANA CULLURAFI, d. Unknown.

 

Notes for GIOVANA CULLURAFI:

We read of Giovana and her parents in the census of Librizzi for 1681.

 

 

5.  ROSARIO³ CULLURAFI (DON², COLOROFE¹) was born 1624 in Librizzi, Sicily, and died Unknown.  He married ROSALIA.  She died Unknown.

 

Notes for ROSARIO CULLURAFI:

We find the information about Rosario, his wife, children, age and parents in the civil records of Librizzi from 1681.

       

Children of ROSARIO CULLURAFI and ROSALIA are:

                   i.       MICHELE⁴ CULLURAFI, b. 1662, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for MICHELE CULLURAFI:

We read of Michele and his brother, Angelo, and learn his age and that of his father from the census of Librizzi in 1681. This is probably the same Michele that provides evidence for various people in the census of Librizzi in 1714.

For example, he verifies the census information of Anna Gianata,  mother of Placido and Theresa  in the census of  1714. 

 

9.               ii.       ANGELO CULLURAFI, b. 1681, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

10.            iii.       SALVATORE CULLURAFI, b. 1654, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

11.            iv.       CLEMENTE COLLORAFFI, b. 1674, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

 

 

6.  FRANCESCO³ COLOROFE (GIAC², COLOROFE¹ CULLURAFI) was born Abt. 1655 in Militello, Sicilia, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for FRANCESCO COLOROFE:

We know of Francesco and his household from the census of Militello done in 1681.  His age is only a guess, as is that of his father, Giac.  No ages are given for him or any family members.  A wife is not identified, but may be one of the members of his household, which I have listed as children.  It is very possible  that the Giac, identified in the census as part of the household is NOT a child, but his father, and that Pelligina may be either his child, mother, or wife.

       

Children of FRANCESCO COLOROFE are:

                   i.       FRANCESCO⁴ COLOROFE, d. Unknown.

                  ii.       GIAC COLOROFE, d. Unknown.

                 iii.       PELLEGINA COLOROFE, d. Unknown.

 

 

7.  MACCLEO³ COLOROFE (GIAC², COLOROFE¹ CULLURAFI) was born Abt. 1656 in Militelo, Sicilia, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for MACCLEO COLOROFE:

Maccleo is listed in the census of the Militello area in 1861, along with his household.  As no ages or relationships are given, we do not know for sure if the names listed are children or other relatives.  Giac is given as Maccleo's father.  In the household we have Maccleo, Francesco and Mar. (probably Maria) and a Silver., which is probably a version of Salvatore.

       

Children of MACCLEO COLOROFE are:

                   i.       FRANCESCO⁴ COLOROFE, d. Unknown.

                  ii.       MAR. COLOROFE, d. Unknown.

                 iii.       SILVER. COLOROFE, d. Unknown.

 

 

Generation No. 4

 

8.  DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI (PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born Abt. 1645 in Librizzi, Sicily, and died Unknown.  He married AGATA.  She died Unknown.

 

Notes for DOMENICO CULLURAFI:

Domenico and Agatha are the parents given for Francello Colloraffi in the census of Librizzi in 1714.  Francello names two of his children for them.  I am guessing at the age of Domenico and also his relationship to Antonio.

       

Children of DOMENICO CULLURAFI and AGATA are:

12.              i.       ANTONINO⁵ COLLORAFFI, b. Abt. 1674, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

13.             ii.       FRANCELLO COLLORAFFI, b. Abt. 1675, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

 

 

9.  ANGELO⁴ CULLURAFI (ROSARIO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born 1681 in Librizzi, Sicily, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for ANGELO CULLURAFI:

This is probably the Angelo, who is mentioned in the census of Librizzi in 1714. The census page is very, very faded.Some information can be read on another part of the report, including his childrens' names and son's age.  He has a daughter named Rosa, therefore, I placed Angelo with this family, as his daughter would be named for Angelo's mother.

       

Children of ANGELO CULLURAFI are:

                   i.       ANTONINO⁵ COLLORAFFI, b. Abt. 1702; d. Unknown.

                  ii.       ROSA COLLORAFFI, d. Unknown.

 

 

10.  SALVATORE⁴ CULLURAFI (ROSARIO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born 1654 in Librizzi, Sicily, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for SALVATORE CULLURAFI:

We find Salvatore Cullurafi in the census of Librizzi for 1714.  His father is given as Ros. (Rosario).  He is 60 years old.  His wife's name is very difficult to read.  I am guessing that it is Rosa.  The "S" page of the census is missing, so Salvatore was nearly missed.  His name is spelled with the Cullurafi, as was the name in the 1681 census.  His son's age cannot be read at this time.  No age is given for his daughter.

       

Children of SALVATORE CULLURAFI are:

                   i.       ANTONINO⁵ CULLURAFI, b. Bef. 1714, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for ANTONINO CULLURAFI:

We read of Antonino in the census of Librizzi from 1714 and learn the name of his father and grandfather.

 

                  ii.       ANNA MARIA CULLURAFI, b. Bef. 1714, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for ANNA MARIA CULLURAFI:

We know that Anna Maria is the daughter of Salvatore from the census of Librizzi of 1714.

 

 

11.  CLEMENTE⁴ COLLORAFFI (ROSARIO³ CULLURAFI, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born 1674 in Librizzi, Sicily, and died Unknown.  He married ANTONIA.  She died Unknown.

 

Notes for CLEMENTE COLLORAFFI:

I am not sure that Clemente is the son of this father.  We find the information about his household in the census of Librizzi for 1714.  He names a daughter, Rosalia, and that is the reason that I placed him here.  Michele Colloraffi signs the census record for Clemente.  Also, Clemente's name is listed as D. Clemente Colloraffi in the census index. This means that he is referred to as Don Clemente, which signifies nobility. 

       

Children of CLEMENTE COLLORAFFI and ANTONIA are:

                   i.       ANTONIO⁵ COLLORAFFI, b. 1701, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for ANTONIO COLLORAFFI:

Antonio's age, parents and these siblings are listed in the census of Librizzi of 1714.

 

                  ii.       GIUSEPPE COLLORAFFI, b. 1708, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for GIUSEPPE COLLORAFFI:

Giuseppe's parents, siblings and age are in the Librizzi census of 1714.

 

                 iii.       ROSALIA COLLORAFFI, b. Bef. 1714, Librizz, Sicily; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for ROSALIA COLLORAFFI:

Rosalia is listed with these parents and brothers in the census of Librizzi for 1714.  No age is given for her.

 

 

Generation No. 5

 

12.  ANTONINO⁵ COLLORAFFI (DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born Abt. 1674 in Librizzi, Sicily, and died Unknown.  He married ANNA.  She died Unknown.

 

Notes for ANTONINO COLLORAFFI:

Antonino and his wife, Anna are found in the census of Librizzi in 1714.  His age is given as 40 years old.  He is taxed on both land and a house.

       

Child of ANTONINO COLLORAFFI and ANNA is:

14.              i.       PADRE⁶ COLLORAFFI, d. Unknown.

 

 

13.  FRANCELLO⁵ COLLORAFFI (DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born Abt. 1675 in Librizzi, Sicily, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for FRANCELLO COLLORAFFI:

The names of Francello's parents are given in the census of Librizzi in 1714.  His name is a guess based on the ages of his children.  His birthplace is given as Librizzi.

       

Children of FRANCELLO COLLORAFFI are:

                   i.       PIETRO⁶ COLLORAFFI, b. 1696; d. Unknown.

                  ii.       ANGELO COLLORAFFI, b. 1702, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for ANGELO COLLORAFFI:

Angelo's age and father is listed in the census of Librizzi in 1714.  No wife is mentioned for his father.

 

                 iii.       AGATHA COLLORAFFI, b. Bef. 1714, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for AGATHA COLLORAFFI:

Agatha is listed in this household, as a daughter, in the census of Librizzi in 1714.

 

                 iv.       DOMENICO COLLORAFFI, b. 1712, Librizzi, Sicily; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for DOMENICO COLLORAFFI:

Domenico is listed as a child in this household in the census of  Librizzi in 1714.  It is possible that he had an older brother, Domenico, who has died, and he is named in his place.  There is no mother mentioned.

 

 

Generation No. 6

 

14.  PADRE⁶ COLLORAFFI (ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) died Unknown.  He married MADRE COLLORAFFI.  She died Unknown.

 

Notes for PADRE COLLORAFFI:

PADRE AND MADRE COLLORAFFI ARE PRETEND ANCESTORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!They are not real.  I made them up because there is a gap of several generations in the records available and I needed to use them as "place markers" so that we can then list all of the ancestors that we have found in the civil records of Librizzi, San Piero Patti, Patti & Sant' Agata di Militello. Perhaps some day we will have these records, but it is also possible than none exist, since records were not required until 1820 in Sicily. If we find the correct information, it can easily be added and corrected.        Janice Colloraffi Anschuetz

 

 

 

 

 

Notes for MADRE COLLORAFFI:

There is really no family member by this name, at this time.  Please see notes for her "husband" as to the research that has gone on so far.

       

Children of PADRE COLLORAFFI and MADRE COLLORAFFI are:

15.              i.       BIAGIO⁷ COLLORAFFI, b. Abt. 1730, Librizzi,  Sicilia; d. Unknown, Sant' Agata di Militello, Sicilia.

16.             ii.       GIUSEPPE X COLLORAFI, b. Abt. 1725; d. Unknown.

Notes for BIAGIO COLLORAFFI:

On the death certificate on his son Gaetano, in the civil records of Sant' Agata di Militello, Biagio's profession is listed as a farmer, "bracciale".  On this death certificate, it also states that Biagio lived in S.A. di Militello.  Both he and his wife, Vincenza are dead by 1838.

 

Notes for VINCENZA:

We know of Vincenza as her name is listed on the death record of her husband in the civil records of Sant' Agata di Militello.

       

Children of BIAGIO COLLORAFFI and VINCENZA are:

17.              i.       GAETENO⁸ COLLORAFFI, b. 1762, Librizzi, Sicily; d. December 25, 1838, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.

18.             ii.       MICHELO COLLORAFFI, d. Bef. 1826, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.

Notes for GAETENO COLLORAFFI:

29.             v.       ROSA COLLORAFFI, b. 1806, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia; d. Unknown.

30.            vi.       ANTONINO COLLORAFFI, b. Abt. 1820, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia; d. Unknown.

                vii.       VINCENZO X COLLORAFFI, b. 1810, Sant Angelo, Sicilia, Italy; d. 1880, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.

 

Notes for VINCENZO X COLLORAFFI:

We read of Vincenzo in the death records of Sant' Agata Di Militello.  This may be the same person as Vincenzo x Collorafi - of Salina, who we know of through verbal family records.

 

 

18.  MICHELO⁸ COLLORAFFI (BIAGIO⁷, PADRE⁶, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) died Bef. 1826 in Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.  He married GRAZIA (ROSIA) LO CASTRO.  She died Unknown.

 

Notes for MICHELO COLLORAFFI:

When Michelo's daughter, Marianna is married  on October 23, 1826, Michelo is listed as having died, "fu".

       

Children of MICHELO COLLORAFFI and GRAZIA CASTRO are:

31.              i.       VINCENZA⁹ COLLORAFFI, b. 1809, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia; d. July 18, 1880, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.

32.             ii.       MARIANNA ANTONINA (CULLURAFFI) COLLORAFFI, b. 1811, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia; d. 1874, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.

33.            iii.       MICHELO COLLORAFFI, b. 1819, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia; d. October 25, 1910, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.

34.            iv.       ANTONINO COLLORAFFI, b. Abt. 1815; d. Unknown.

                  v.       VINCENZO COLLORAFFI, b. Abt. 1810, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia; d. July 1880, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.

 

Notes for VINCENZO COLLORAFFI:

We find the death certificate for Vincenzo in the civil records of Sant' Agata di Militello.  His parents names, his age, and the date of his death is given.

 

35.            vi.       ANGELA X COLLORAFFI, b. Abt. 1820, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia; d. Unknown.

 

 

19.  GIUSEPPE⁸ COLLORAFI (BIAGIO⁷ COLLORAFFI, PADRE⁶, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born Abt. 1760 in Patti, Sicily, and died Bef. 1839.  He married ANTONINA GAMBINO, daughter of ANTONINA MARFO.  She was born in Patti, Sicily, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for GIUSEPPE COLLORAFI:

On his son, Rosario's death certificate, Giuseppe's profession is listed as a merchant.  I have attached Giuseppe to this parent because of the clue given on his grandson, Nunzio's death certificate, that his father, Rosario, was not born in Patti.  There was some interchange and relationship between the Collorafi's in Patti and those in the Librizzi/San Piero Patti area.  This is reflected in surnames of spouses as well as tracing several of the early Collorafis and Colloraffis back to this area.  On his son Nunzio's death record, Giuseppe has died by 1839.

       

Children of GIUSEPPE COLLORAFI and ANTONINA GAMBINO are:

36.              i.       ROSARIO⁹ COLLORAFI, b. 1790, Librizzi, Sicily?; d. September 14, 1880, Patti, Sicily.

37.             ii.       VINCENZO COLLORAFI, b. Abt. 1795, Patti, Sicily; d. Bef. 1866.

                 iii.       NUNZIO COLLORAFFI, b. Abt. 1785, San Piero Patti, Sicilia; d. February 09, 1842, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.

 

Notes for NUNZIO COLLORAFFI:

We learn about Nunzio from a death certificate in Sant' Agata Di Militello.  I believe that the date on this certificate is wrong by about 10 years.

 

 

20.  CARMELO⁸ COLLORAFFI (BIAGIO⁷, PADRE⁶, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) died Unknown.

 

Notes for CARMELO COLLORAFFI:

We learn about Carmelo from the death certificate of his son, Biagio Colloraffi, in Sant' Agata Di Militello in 1842.  I placed him here because of the name.  This may or may not be the correct placement, but, I believe, that Carmelo, if the son of Biagio, would have named his son after his father.

       

Child of CARMELO COLLORAFFI is:

                   i.       BIAGIO⁹ COLLORAFFI, d. 1842, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.

 

 

21.  BISCILIO⁸ COLLORAFI (GIUSEPPE X⁷, PADRE⁶ COLLORAFFI, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born Bet. 1766 - 1774 in Vallone Vina,  Sicilia, Italy, and died February 14, 1855 in Vallone Vina,  Sicilia, Italy.  He married CARMELA COLORA COLLURA.  She was born 1782 in Librizzi,  Sicilia, Italy, and died Bef. 1878.

 

Notes for BISCILIO COLLORAFI:

Biscilio's profession is given as a landowner on the marriage record of his son,  Giuseppe.  His death record is in the civil records of Librizzi.  It gives his age, place of birth and parents' names.  On his death certificates it states that he was a farmer.  His wife's name is also given.  His profession is given as a farm hand on the death record of his daughter, Vincenzia.  His age is also given on the birth record of his son, Giuseppe.  We also read about Biscilio  on the death record of Maestro Musica, who dies in Vallone Vina on October 18, 1820.  Biscilio is a wittness.  He is described as 36 years old, born in 1774.  This gives him a different age than on his son's marriage record.

 

Notes for CARMELA COLORA COLLURA:

.The handwriting is difficult to read.  Her profession is given as a filatrice or spinner on her son Giuseppe's marriage record & that of her son, Biagio.  Her name is clearly written on the death record of her daughter Vincenzia in the civil records of Librizzi.  Her profession is given as that of a farmer on Vincenzia's death record.  We find Carmela's age on her son, Giuseppe's birth record.  She is listed as "fu", dead, in the death certificate of her daughter, Vincenzia.  Her last name is seems to be spelled as Colora.  However, in order to help to identify her family, I have added the spelling Collura.  There were quite a few Colluras who married into our family in the late 1700's and early 1800's...  I know believe that the Colloraffi Famiglia is a branch of the Collura family that ruled the San Piero Patti area in the early 1700's.

       

Children of BISCILIO COLLORAFI and CARMELA COLLURA are:

38.              i.       VINCENZIA⁹ COLLORAFI, b. 1805, Librizzi,  Sicilia, Italy; d. December 02, 1878, Vallone Vina, Sicilia, Italy.

39.             ii.       BIAGIO ANTONINO COLLORAFI, b. 1811, Librizzi,  Sicilia, Italy; d. Unknown.

41.            iv.       GIUSEPPE COLLORAFI, b. September 14, 1822, Librizzi,  Sicilia, Italy; d. Unknown.

 

 

22.  PIETRO X⁸ COLLORAFI (GIUSEPPE X⁷, PADRE⁶ COLLORAFFI, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born in Librizzi Sicily, Italy, and died January 16, 1830 in Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.  He married CARMELA GUMINA.  She was born in Librizzi Sicily, Italy, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for PIETRO X COLLORAFI:

I strongly suspect that this Pietro X and the Pietro "link" , who died in Sant' Agata di Militello in 1830 are the same person, who has married twice, having a family, in Librizzi by Carmela Gumina and more children, by perhaps a 2nd wife, Beneditta Tassori.  However, records and references are in different communities.  It is also possible that there are two Pietro's, born at about the same time.

       

Children of PIETRO COLLORAFI and CARMELA GUMINA are:

42.              i.       GIUSEPPE (ROSARIO)⁹ COLLORAFI, b. 1791, Librizzi,  Sicilia, Italy; d. February 01, 1879, Librizzi,  Sicilia, Italy.

                 iii.       MICHELO COLLORAFI, d. October 20, 1820, Librizzi,  Sicilia, Italy.

 

Notes for MICHELO COLLORAFI:

We see Michelo's names on the death index for Librizzi in 1820, but the record is missing.  On this page it lists his parents names, citizenship and death date.

 

44.            iv.       ANTONINO X COLLORAFI, b. 1807, Librizzi,  Sicilia, Italy; d. Unknown.

 

 

23.  ROSARIO X SANTO COLLOROFE⁸ COLLORAFI (GIUSEPPE X⁷, PADRE⁶ COLLORAFFI, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born Abt. 1750 in Librizzi,  Sicilia, and died Unknown.  He married NATTALINA LIONTI.  She was born 1760 in Librizzi,  Sicilia, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for ROSARIO X SANTO COLLOROFE COLLORAFI:

We learn about Rosario and his wife from the marriage record of his son, Giuseppe, in the civil records of Librizzi.  I have attached Rosario Santo to this parent because of the location and name of his son.  On Giuseppe's marriage record, Santo Rosario, as he is called, is listed as a farmer.

 

Notes for NATTALINA LIONTI:

Nattalina's name and age are given on the marriage record of her son, Giuseppe, in the civil records of Librizzi.

       

Child of ROSARIO COLLORAFI and NATTALINA LIONTI is:

45.              i.       GIUSEPPE COLLOROFE⁹ COLLORAFI, b. 1791, District of Patti, Messina Valle, Sicilia; d. Unknown.

Notes for ANTONINO X COLLORAFFI:

We know about this family from the marriage records of their daughter, Francesca in the civil records of Librizzi.  I have attached him to these parents only due to the possible date of his birth and the location...There is no proof to support that these are his parents.  However, this is the only way that I can place these people in our family tree.

       

Child of ANTONINO COLLORAFFI and ROSSARIA MUNOFI is:

46.              i.       FRANCESCA⁹ COLLORAFI, b. 1779, Librizzi,  Sicilia; d. Unknown.

 

 

Generation No. 9

 

25.  MARIA⁹ COLLORAFI (GAETENO⁸ COLLORAFFI, BIAGIO⁷, PADRE⁶, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) died Unknown.

       

Child of MARIA COLLORAFI is:

                   i.       SALVADORE¹⁰, b. 1840, San Piero Patti, Sicilia; d. Unknown.

 

 

26.  PIERTO LINK⁹ COLLORAFFI (GAETENO⁸, BIAGIO⁷, PADRE⁶, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born 1780 in Librizzi, Sicily, and died Unknown.  He married BENEDITTA TASSORI.  She died Unknown.

 

Notes for PIERTO LINK COLLORAFFI:

Pietro is listed as a tailor on legal records in Sant' Agata Di Militello.

His wife, Beneditta is listed as a spinner.  We find the death record or Pietro in the civil records of Sant' Agata.  It states that he was born in Librizzi.  What is so important about this Pietro Colloraffi is that he is one of the links of the Sant' Agata di Militello - Librizzi - San Piero Patti and Patti families.  When he comes to Sant' Agata di Militello from Librizzi, he leaves sons in San Piero Patti.  Rossario goes to Patti and takes up the profession of fruit seller with the other Collorafi families there.  Family legend says that Domenico Collorafi from Vallone Vina had a brother Pietro who went to Sant' Agata di Militello.  However, it is this Pietro who went there.  His profession is a tailor.  Gateno's profession is a barber.  On his son, Rossario's death record, Pietro is listed as a farmer.

 

NOTE:  I have suspect that this Pietro is the same person as Pietro X, who may have been married twice and lived in different communities.  Please see note under Pietro X.

 

Notes for BENEDITTA TASSORI:

Beneditta is listed as a spinner.  Her husband is listed as a tailor in the civil records of Sant' Agata Di Militello.

       

Children of PIERTO COLLORAFFI and BENEDITTA TASSORI are:

47.              i.       GIUSEPPE X¹⁰ COLLORAFFI, b. Abt. 1795; d. Bef. 1852.

48.             ii.       ROSSARIO COLLORAFFI, b. 1798, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia; d. February 20, 1834, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.

49.            iii.       ROSALIA COLLORAFFI, b. 1799, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia; d. November 08, 1879, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.

50.            iv.       BENEDETTA COLLORAFI, b. 1806; d. Unknown.

51.             v.       MARIA GIUSEPPA COLLORAFFI, b. 1809, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia; d. Unknown.

                 vi.       BENEDITTO COLLORAFFI, b. Abt. 1813, Patti, Sicily; d. August 11, 1889, Patti, Sicily; m. ROSA COLLURA; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for BENEDITTO COLLORAFFI:

Beneditto Colloraffi is a very important link to the Colloraffi/Collorafi families.  On his death certificate it states that he is a fruit seller and is born, worked in and died in Patti.  He may have been married twice with his wife, at the time of his death being Rosa Calera.  His name is definitely spelled with 2 f's.  The profession of fruit seller is that of the majority of Collorafis in Patti.

 

Notes for ROSA COLLURA:

I believe that this is the spelling of Rosa's surname and would be the same as the husband of Giuseppa Colloraffi, Beneditto's sister's husband.  On the record the name seems to be mis spelled as Colera.  This is another example of a surname being written the way that it is pronounced.

 

                vii.       CARMELO X COLLORAFFI, b. 1815, San Piero Patti, Sicilia; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for CARMELO X COLLORAFFI:

Carmelo Colloraffi is 23 years old in 1838 when he serves as a wittness to the birth of Antonino, son of Serafina Mannio and Grazicito Fazio.  I placed him here because the family name is in keeping with this branch of the Collorafi family, as is his age and the place of his citizenship.  His profession is listed as a barber.

 

 

27.  ROSALIA X⁹ COLLORAFFI (GAETENO⁸, BIAGIO⁷, PADRE⁶, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born Abt. 1790 in Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia, and died Unknown.  She married BIAGIO VINCENZO VIGINERI PRESTI.  He was born in Militello, Sicilia, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for ROSALIA X COLLORAFFI:

We know about Rosalia and her husband from the birth record of her son, Giuseppe.  It gives her age and says that she lives in Militello.  This is from the civil records of S.A...I have placed her with this parents because of her husband's surname.  This Vigneri family latter marries into this branch, as does the Presti family.  Her profession is listed as a seamstress on the marriage record of her daughter, Teresa.

 

Notes for BIAGIO VINCENZO VIGINERI PRESTI:

The Presti or Lo Presti family marries into the Colloraffi family in both San Piero Patti and Sant' Agata di Militello.

28.  MAESTRO BIAGIO⁹ COLLORAFFI (GAETENO⁸, BIAGIO⁷, PADRE⁶, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born 1804 in Caronia, Sicilia, and died September 10, 1887 in Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.  He married MARIA TERESA GUMINA November 10, 1837 in Sant' Agata Di Militello, Sicilia, daughter of DOMENICO GUMINA and ROSALIA VIVIARO.  She was born 1820 in Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia, and died Bef. 1887.

 

Notes for MAESTRO BIAGIO COLLORAFFI:

Biagio's profession is listed as a barber on his marriage record, and birth records of several children.  His marriage record gives us the names of his parents and his age.  On the birth record of his daughter, Rosa, in 1854, his name is spelled with only one f - Collorafi.  His parents are named on his death certificate and his birthplace is given as Caramia.  It further states that his father, Gaetano was a resident of Sant'Agata Di Militello.  On his death certificate, Vincenzo Zingales, age 30, born in 1857, comes forth as a wittness.  Biagio's son, Domenico marries into this Zingales Botta family, as he married Guiseppa Zingales Botta.  His place of death, perhaps his home is given as 19 Via Eslamlio.

 

Notes for MARIA TERESA GUMINA:

Maria Teresa's profession is listed as a seamstress on the birth records of several of her many children.  Her marriage record gives us the names of her parents and her age.  She sometimes is known as Teresa, for example, on the birth record of her daughter Rosa in 1854.  She has died before her husband, sometime before 1887, as she is listed as "fu" before her name on his death record.

Notes for ANTONINO COLLORAFFI:

I am guessing that these are the parents of Antonino.  All we know about him is from the marriage record of his daughter, Angela in the civil records of Sant' Agata di Militello.  It states that he is a farmer and that his wife is dead by the time that his daughter, Angela marries, at age 17 in 1863.  His wife's name is very hard to read but looks like Caterina Baffoali.  His daughter marries into the Amato family as do other Collorafis in Librizzi.

Maria, is only 17 when she married.  This is one of the youngest ages for marriage that we have seen. Perhaps, because she was employed, she could add to her dowry.

 

Notes for STEFANO BOTTA:

We know of Stefano from his marriage record from the civil records of Sant' Agata di Militello.  This family marries into the Colloraffi family of Sant' Agata again when my g-grandmother, Giuseppa Zingales Botta marries Domenico Colloraffi, the son of Biagio and Maria Teresa.

Notes for MARIANNA ANTONINA (CULLURAFFI) COLLORAFFI:

On MariaAnna's marriage record, it states that she is 15 years old.  Her father, Michelo has died.  On Marianna's death record, her name is spelled the way that the surname was spelled in early Librizzi records, except with the extra f.  2 f's are the way that our family spells the name in Sant' Agata di Militello.  Her name is thus spelled, Marianna Culluraffi. The Colloraffi family again marries into the Piscitello family in the next generation.  Domenico & Giuseppa Zingales Botta's daughter marries a Piscitello and remains in Sant' Agata di Militello, as the rest of the family moves to the Bronx, New York.

 

Notes for ANGELO PISCITELLO:

On the death  certificate of his son, Antonino, July 5, 1828; Angelo is listed as a shoemaker. It also states that he was born in Caronia.  This is an area that there is some relationship with the Colloraffi Family of Sant' Agata Di Militello.   On the birth record of his daughter, Maria Antonia in 1839, his age is given as 37 years old and his profession is a cobbler.

 

This Piscitello family again marries into the Colloraffi family, with Domenico (son of Biagio, son of Gaeteno, son of Biagio) and Giuseppa Zingales Botta Colloraffis daughter, Concetta marries Salvatore Piscitello in S.A....Their family information is in their file.

Child of ANTONINO COLLORAFFI and GIUSEPPA MINO is:

                   i.       GRAZIA¹⁰ COLLORAFFI, b. January 14, 1843; d. Unknown.

 

 

35.  ANGELA X⁹ COLLORAFFI (MICHELO⁸, BIAGIO⁷, PADRE⁶, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born Abt. 1820 in Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia, and died Unknown.  She married GIUSEPPE CORRITO.  He was born 1817 in Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for ANGELA X COLLORAFFI:

I have placed Angela with this family for several reasons.  Her birthplace is S.A., also she is married to Giuseppe Corrito.  Michele is also married to a Corrito and it was common for brother and sisters to marry brothers and sister.  All we know of Angela is from the birth record of her son, Calogera in the civil records of Sant' Agata di Militello.

       

Child of ANGELA COLLORAFFI and GIUSEPPE CORRITO is:

                   i.       CALEGORO¹⁰ CORRITO, b. November 11, 1848, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia; d. Unknown.

 

 

36.  ROSARIO⁹ COLLORAFI (GIUSEPPE⁸, BIAGIO⁷ COLLORAFFI, PADRE⁶, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born 1790 in Librizzi, Sicily?, and died September 14, 1880 in Patti, Sicily.  He married CATERINA (GAMBINO) MARFO.  She was born in Patti, Sicily, and died Bef. April 1895.

 

Notes for ROSARIO COLLORAFI:

On Rosario's death certificate, his profession is given as a merchant.  Antonino Collorafi is a wittness, 38 years old. I believe that he is the son.  The names of Rosario's parents and their places of birth are also given. On his son, Nunzio's death certificate, it states that Rosario was born in Polermo.  My GUESS is that he was born in the area of Librizzi/San Piero Patt.  On his son, Francesco's death certificate, it states that he was born in Patti.  He is dead by 1884 and so is his wife, as stated on Francesco's death certificate.

 

Notes for CATERINA (GAMBINO) MARFO:

We see Caterina's name on the death record of her son, Francesco and also on her children's birth records in the civil records of Patti.  She is listed as a spinner.

Notes for VINCENZO COLLORAFI:

On his daughter, Antonina's death record, his profession is given as a fruit seller.  This is also mentioned on the death record of his daughter, Rosa.  His name is given on Rosa's birth record for her son born in 1866.  Vincenzo has died by then.  These records are part of the civil records of Patti.

                 iii.       ROSA COLLORAFI, b. 1827, Patti, Sicily; d. July 12, 1890, Patti, Sicily; m. GIUSEPPE NOTOE; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for ROSA COLLORAFI:

We have information about Rosa's birth day through the birth record of her son in 1866.  She was a spinner, age 39, when her child is born. Her father, Vincenzo, has died.  This information is from the civil records of Patti.

 

Notes for GIUSEPPE NOTOE:

I am not sure of the spelling of this last name.  It is very difficult to read on Rosa's death certificate.  It may be Noto.

 

 

38.  VINCENZIA⁹ COLLORAFI (BISCILIO⁸, GIUSEPPE X⁷, PADRE⁶ COLLORAFFI, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born 1805 in Librizzi,  Sicilia, Italy, and died December 02, 1878 in Vallone Vina, Sicilia, Italy.  She married (MAYBE) MUSIONE.  He died Unknown.

 

Notes for VINCENZIA COLLORAFI:

We learn about Vincenzia through her death record in Librizzi.  It gives her parents names, her age at death.  Her mother's name is given as Carmela Celona, not Colora...This may be her name, as the handwriting on this document is better than on the other documents.  It states that she is a farm hand and so are her parents.  The word contadino can also mean peasant.

 

Notes for (MAYBE) MUSIONE:

The Musione name is on the death record of Vincenza with Pietro and Biscilio mentioned as wittnesses.  This may be her husband's name and her sons.  Pietro is listed as working in a factory and Biscilio as a farmer. 

       

Children of VINCENZIA COLLORAFI and (MAYBE) MUSIONE are:

                   i.       BISCILIO¹⁰ MUSIONE, b. 1836; d. Unknown.

                  ii.       PIETRO MUSIONE, b. 1842; d. Unknown.

40.  FRANCESCA⁹ COLLORAFI (BISCILIO⁸, GIUSEPPE X⁷, PADRE⁶ COLLORAFFI, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born 1815 in Librizzi, Sicilia, Italy, and died October 08, 1845 in Librizzi,  Sicilia, Italy.  She married ANTONINO SELPIE.  He was born 1811 in Librizzi,  Sicilia, Italy, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for FRANCESCA COLLORAFI:

On Francisia's death record, in the civil records of Librizzi, her age, her husband and parents' names are given. She dies two days after giving birth to a daughter, Carmela.  I am guessing at the spelling of her husband's surname.  The handwriting is very poor on the two records that I have seen.

       

Child of FRANCESCA COLLORAFI and ANTONINO SELPIE is:

                   i.       CARMELA¹⁰ SELPIE, b. October 06, 1845; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for CARMELA SELPIE:

We have Carmela's birth record in the civil records of Librizzi.

 

 

41.  GIUSEPPE⁹ COLLORAFI (BISCILIO⁸, GIUSEPPE X⁷, PADRE⁶ COLLORAFFI, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born September 14, 1822 in Librizzi,  Sicilia, Italy, and died Unknown.  He married DONNA GIUSEPPA PRACPIO February 01, 1845 in Librizzi, Sicily, Italy, daughter of DON PRACPIO and DONNA MARGANO.  She was born 1821 in Librizzi, Sicilia, Italy, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for GIUSEPPE COLLORAFI:

Giuseppe's profession is given as a farmer in the birth record of his son, Giuseppe.  His age is given there as 32. However, on the birth record of Domenico, his age is given as 30.  We also have his age on his marriage record, which also lists his parents and profession.

 

Notes for DONNA GIUSEPPA PRACPIO:

Giuseppa's age is given as 30 on the birth record of her son, Giuseppe.  The title, Donna, is given in many of the records where she is mentioned, such as her son, Domenico's marriage record in the civil records of Librizzi.  Domenico was married in Sant' Angelo, where his wife lived, but the marriage is also recorded in Domenico's town of Librizzi.  Her residence is given as Librizzi in this record. On the birth record of her son, Domenico, her age is given as 32...so there is some difference in her possible birth date.  Her last name is very difficult to read on all of the legal records.  This is my best guess.

Children of GIUSEPPE COLLORAFI and DONNA PRACPIO are:

                   i.       PIPINO¹⁰ COLLORAFI, d. Unknown.

 

Notes for PIPINO COLLORAFI:

I have found no evidence of a Pipino Collorafi, son of these parents in the civil records.  I am guessing that unless other evidence comes forth, this person will be removed from this family and deleted.  He is placed here, temporarily, as part of an oral family history given to us by a grandson of Domenico.

 

                  ii.       PIETRO COLLORAFI, d. Unknown.

 

Notes for PIETRO COLLORAFI:

I doubt that there is a Pietro, son of Giuseppe, brother of Domenico.  I found no evidence of him in the civil records of Librizzi or San Piero Patti.  He is here as part of a family oral tration that Domenico had a brother named Pietro and one named Pippino that went to live in Sant' Agata di Militello, Sicily.

Notes for GIUSEPPE (ROSARIO) COLLORAFI:

We know the names of Giuseppe's parents from his death certificate in the civil records of Librizzi.  He is a farmer.  His father, Pietro, is mentioned as a farmer.  Pietro dies in Sant' Agata di Militello.  Giuseppe's brother, Santo, is born in Sant' Agata di M. in 1800, so it seems that the family may have moved there.

                   i.       ROSALIA¹⁰ COLLORAFFI, b. 1825, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia; d. Unknown; m. GAETANO SOTTOSANTI, July 04, 1852, Sant' Agata Di Militello, Sicilia; b. 1819, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia; d. Unknown.

Notes for GIUSEPPE COLLORAFI:

This information about Giuseppe is from the civil records of Librizzi.  This is an interesting famiy since Pietro, the grandfather dies in Sant' Agata di Militello.  Pietro was born in Librizzi.  Some of his children live in Librizzi as farmers.  Pietro is a farmer in S.A. di M.  On his marriage record, Giuseppe is a farmer.  His wife is a spinner.

Notes for GIUSEPPE COLLOROFE COLLORAFI:

We know about Giuseppe, his parents, their ages and his wife through the marriage record in the civil records of Librizzi! I am guessing that this Rosario is his son. I cannot read the name of his birthplace. It is in the district of Patti, Messina. On his marriage record it states that he is a hunter and a fieldhand. It also states that his father, Rosario, was a farmer.  Rosario must be dead by 1820 as there is no age listed for him.

 

Notes for CARMELA GATANI:

We know of Carmela, her age and her parents and birth place from the civil records of Librizzi.

Notes for GIUSEPPE X COLLORAFFI:

Notes for DOMENICO COLLORAFFI:

Domenico's profession is stated as a shoemaker on the birth record of his daughter, Maria Teressa.

 

Domenico and Giuseppa brought their family to 1882 Barnes Ave. Bronx, New York around 1900.  My father, Domenico, his grandson, stated that his grandfather first came to the United States in the early 1880's, went back to Sant' Agata di Militello and then, two years latter,  returned to the house that they had bought.  We know that his daughter, Concetta was married in Sant' Agata Di Militello in 1896 and that she remained in Sicily. 

 

Domenico is remembered as always having a cigar.  He was a tall and handsome man and when asked what he did, he would reply that he "took care of his family" and that they took care of him.  It is believed that his daughter, Giuseppa and her family lived with him in the Bronx, and owned the home when he died.  Perhaps he bought it along with his daughter and her husband.

 

We find Domenico and his wife, Giuseppa, on the ship manifest for the Nord America that left Palermo and arrived in New York, on October 28, 1901.  Domenico and Giuseppa brought their 3 year old grand daughter, child of Concetta, to the USA with them.

 

Notes for GIUSEPPA ZINGALES BOTTA:

Giuseppa's last name, Zingales Botta, is sometimes spelled without the "s" in Zingales.  This family has married into the Colloraffi family for several generations.

 

We see Giuseppa's name on the ship manifest for the Nord America, leaving Palermo and arriving in New York on October 28, 1901.  Her and her husband brought their 3 year old  grand daughter, Rosa, with them.

Notes for MARIA TERESA COLLORAFFI:

We know of Maria Teresa from her birth record in the legal records of Sant' Agata Di Militello.  We also see her name on the ship manifest for the Sempione, departing from Palermo and arriving in New York on May 11, 1900.  She  was single, 28 years old, and came with her brother, Vincenzo and sisters, Guiseppa and Maria.  Her parents arrived a year latter.

We know of Maria from her birth record in the legal records of Sant' Agata Di Militello.  We also see her name in the ship manifest for the ship Sempione, departing from Palermo and arriving in New York on May 11, 1900.  She was 23 years old and came with her sisters, Guiseppa and Maria Teresa and her brother, Vincenzo.  Her parents came to New York about a year latter.

Notes for ANTONINO COLLORAFFI:

The marriage record of Antonino Colloraffi, son of Biagio and Maria Ignazi is an important link from the Colloraffis of Sant' Agata Di Militello to the   Collorafis in Patti.  Giuseppe Collorafi also married into the Amato family. His mother in law is Teresa Amato.  So, perhaps, there was communication between these two branches of the family in the 1870's and beyond.  We see the age of Antonino and his father, Biagio, on his marriage certificate.  He also signs his name. We have Antonino's brith certificate from the civil records of Sant' Agata Di Militello.

 

Notes for MARIA IGNAZI:

On her marriage record in Patti, we find Maria's age and the names of her parents.

Notes for GIUSEPPE COLLORAFFI:

The information for this family comes from the civil records of Sant' Agata di Militello.

 

Notes for MARIA IGNACIA SCAFIDI:

Maria Ignacia Scafidi's age is stated in her daughter's birth certificate from Sant' Agata Di Militello.  Her father is also mentioned is a birth certificate of one of her children.  In the birth certificate of her son, Nunzio, we learn that her husband, Giuseppe, is a barber.

       

Children of GIUSEPPE COLLORAFFI and MARIA SCAFIDI are:

                   i.       MARIA¹¹ COLLORAFFI, b. May 04, 1877; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for MARIA COLLORAFFI:

Information on Ellis Island shows that Maria came to the USA by way of Ellis Island  in 1905, when she was 28 years old.  She may have been married at the time since Italian  women were recorded in ships' manifests, at the time, by their legal name - which is their surname.  Her brothers Giuseppe and Carlo came through Ellis Island in 1906, the next year.

 

                  ii.       TERESA COLLORAFFI, b. April 18, 1879; d. Unknown; m. TRISUFO SUDOVICO, August 1903; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for TERESA COLLORAFFI:

The handwriting on the marriage record for Teresa is nearly unreadable.  I am guessing at the name of her husband and it looks as if she were married outside of Sant' Agata because the "Annotiazione per Matrimonio" is on a seperate piece of paper in the clerk's records, but I cannot read where it was sent from.

                 iv.       CARLO COLLORAFFI, b. December 04, 1886; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for CARLO COLLORAFFI:

From information in Ellis Island files, it seems that Carlo and his brother Giuseppe went to the USA by way of Ellis Island in 1906. He was 19 years old.

 

                  v.       GIUSEPPE COLLORAFFI, b. August 05, 1890; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for GIUSEPPE COLLORAFFI:

Information from Ellis Island shows us that Giuseppe went to the United States, stopping at Ellis Island  in 1906 at the age of 17.  It looks as if Carol came with him.

 

                 vi.       ANTONINO COLLORAFFI, b. June 1892, Sant Agata di Militello, Sicilia; d. May 22, 1910, Sant Agata di Militello, Sicilia.

                vii.       NUNZIATO COLLORAFFI, b. December 08, 1896; d. Unknown.

               viii.       CARMELA COLLORAFFI, b. March 08, 1901; d. Unknown.

 

Notes for CARMELA COLLORAFFI:

On her birth record, a Gogliano comes forth as a wittness.  He is 33 years old.  My father thought that his Uncle Vincenzo was married to a Gogliano.

 

 

57.  VINCENZO¹⁰ COLLORAFFI (MAESTRO BIAGIO⁹, GAETENO⁸, BIAGIO⁷, PADRE⁶, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born January 30, 1861 in Sant' Agata di Militello, Sicilia, and died Unknown in USA.  He married ROSA CERRITO.  She was born 1863 in Sant Agata di Militello, Sicilia, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for VINCENZO COLLORAFFI:

Vincenzo's  oldest child is named Antonino Biagio.  Because of this, I assume that Vincenzo is the son of Biagio and Maria Teressa.  Biagio would be from the father, and Antonino from a brother who died as a child.  Out of respect, the oldest son is often named for a family member who died, and this would be in keeping with that tradition. The birth record in Sant' Agata identifies this Vincenzo as the son of Biagio and Maria Teresa.  However, my father thought that Vincenzo's wife's maiden name as Gogliano.  He could have been wrong, or Rose may have died. We do know, that in the birth record of his brother,  Giuseppe's youngest child, Carmela, a Gogliano comes forth as a wittness.  This Gogliano is 33 years old. Vincenzo is listed as a tailor on his children's birth records.  My father said that his Uncle Vincenzo lived in Erie, Penn., USA.  I have great doubts that this is true, and suspect that he returned to Sant' Agata di Militello and may have been the Vincenzo Colloraffi, who served as mayor at the turn of the century.  I have no evidence that any other part of this family, other than Domenico, son of Biagio, stayed in the USA.

 

 

Notes for ROSA CERRITO:

Rose's age is listed on the birth records of several children.  It is interesting that a Biagio Cerrito is the mayor of Sant' Agata Di Militello around 1898 and that Rose's husband, seems to be the next mayor of the city.  This family also marries into the Regalbutto family - related to the Colloraffi family through the Modica family.

       

Children of VINCENZO COLLORAFFI and ROSA CERRITO are:

                   i.       BIAGIO ANTONINO¹¹ COLLORAFFI, b. April 16, 1885, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia; d. July 25, 1898, Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.

58.  PIETRO¹⁰ COLLORAFI (ROSARIO⁹, GIUSEPPE⁸, BIAGIO⁷ COLLORAFFI, PADRE⁶, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born 1826 in Patti, Sicily, and died July 18, 1898 in Patti, Sicily.  He married FEBRONIA MAGGARI.  She was born in Patti, Sicily, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for PIETRO COLLORAFI:

I believe that this is the family that Pietro belongs to, even though, on his death certificate, his mother's last name is given as Gambino. On his son, Antonino's death record, in the civil records of Patti, his profession is given as a spinner.

 

Notes for FEBRONIA MAGGARI:

I am guessing at the spelling of the name of the wife of Pietro.  The handwriting on the death certificate is very difficult to read.  The names of his parents are listed.  His name and that of his wife, are on the marriage certificate of his son, Rosario.  On the death record of her son, Antonino, her profession is given as a spinner.

       

Children of PIETRO COLLORAFI and FEBRONIA MAGGARI are:

Notes for ANTONINO COLLORAFI:

The death certificate for Antonino, in the civil records of Patti, is very difficult to read.  It gives his parents names.  I am not sure how old he was, perhaps a few days.

Notes for NUNZIO COLLORAFI:

On his death certificate, Nunzio's profession is given as a fruit dealer.  It states that Rosario, his father, was from Polermo, and was a fruit dealer.  The certificate is written in a narrative form and the information was given to the clerk of Patti from Tunisia.  My guess is that Nunzio was younger than 90 and may have been born closer to 1828.  On his daughter' marriage certificate it states that he is age 51, and would have been born in 1840.  His profession is listed as a fruit seller on his daughter's marriage certificate.  On another daughter, Anna's wedding certificate in 1885, he is listed as being 43 years old and a fruit seller.

 

Notes for ROSA CALEGA CRIFO:

Notes for ROSSARIO (CULLUROFFI) COLLORAFI:

We have information about a Rossario Colloraffi, who emigrated to the USA, by way of Ellis Island, from San Piero Patti, at the age of 24 in 1907.  I believe that this is the Rossario for several reasons, including the fact that on his birth record, his name is spelled with 2 f's.

Notes for DOMENICO COLLORAFI:

       

The information about this family was provided by the civil records of San Piero Patti and Librizzi and also family records and rememberances.

 

We know a little bit about the life of Domenico and Anna from their great-grand daughter, Guiseppa (Josie) Collorafi Biviano from Australia. She is the daughter of Vincenzo, son of their son, Guiseppe. She tells us that Domenico provided for his large famiy by cultivating hazlenuts which he sold to a local exporter.  They also grew chestnuts.  The family owned a mill, "where the locals would take their grain to be ground into flour for a fee and a pound or two or flour.  In those days,"  Josie wrote, "I suppose they had very little needs."

        She continued, "I visited this farm area, which is now overgrown with bramble bushes and weeds.  This land was left to Dad and his brothers and sisters.  Other divisions of this land was left to my grandfather's brothers and sisters, but over the years, some have sold their share..."

        Josie also told us about this family, "As you know it appears my grandfather, Guiseppe, was one of twelve children.  As far as Dad can remember, these are the names and some accurate but not complete details...

Firstly, my Dad and his father were born in a town called Vallone Vina (translated it means valley of the vines.)  San Piero Patti is between Vallone Vina and Librizzi...In Librizzi lived my grandfather's brothers, Michaelangelo, Tindaro and Carmelo.  In Vallone Vina lived my grandfather Guiseppe, his sisters Fibronia and Sarina, his brothers Alberto, Michele, Pietro and Basilo.  His sister, Guiseppina, lived in Palermo, and his sister, Carmela, dad can't remember.

Michaelangelo married Anna Mondello.  Their children were Antonino and Domenico.  Tindaro married Giuseppina Matelo.  Fibronia married a Giovannino, children Angelina (married Antonino - Sabrina's son), Antonino, Leandro (married Sarina's daughter Anna) and Domenico.  Alberto never married.  Pietro married Angelina ( Collorafi) children Domenico, Carmelo, Micheleangelo, Anna.  Basilio married a French woman called Erena.  Dad thinks they had no children.  They lived in France.  Sarina married Giovannino Buzzanco, children Antonio, Anita, Domenico, Maria.  Guiseppe (my grandfather) married Guiseppina Molletta, children Domenico, Anita, Rosina, Carmela, Vincenzino, Carmelo, Concettina, Basillo.  Guiseppina married Guiseppe (a police officer in Palermo) children ?

Carmela nobody knows what?"

        Domenico's age is provided through his birth record from the civil records of Librizzi. On his marriage record, his profession is  given as a landowner. We know his age and his parents names from both his birth record and marriage record from the civil records of Librizzi.  His mother is referred to as "Donna Giuseppa", which is a sign of respect usually given to nobility of some sort. On the birth records of his many children, his profession is listed as a farmer.

 

Notes for ANNA PIZZINO:

Descendants of Anna gave the spelling of her name as Pizzino, but it is spelled Pizino in the birth records of her many children.  On the birth record of daughter, Maria Catena in 1887, Anna's profession is given as a filatrice, which means spinner.  How this dear lady had time to spin, with so many children, is difficult to imagine.  D. H. Lawrence provides a discription of a woman spinner of Sicily, which I have put in this Collorafi family history.  Her birthplace is given by a grandson, Mario Collorafi, son of Anna's child Tindaro.

Notes for PITO PIETRO COLLORAFFI:

We learn about Pito, which is probably the nickname for Pietro from the civil records of Librizzi, when his son, Francesco is born.  We learn his age and the names of his parents.

 

Marriage Notes for PITO COLLORAFFI and CARMELA COTTONE:

It is interesting to see how the spelling of this name changes.  It is first spelled with one f by the grandfather Pietro.  He moves to Sant' Agata di Militello and it is spelled Colloraffi.  Santo, his son, moves back to Librizzi and it is with one f, and then the grandson, Francesco's name is spelled very wrong on the birth record of Librizzi - Collofi!

Notes for ROSARIO COLLORAFI:

Both the handwriting and ink are poor in the marriage record of Carmelo.  My best guess is that it says that his father is named Rosario and is dead.  His mother's name is written and unreadable, as is their places of residence.  This requires more research, if possible.  I have guessed that he should be placed with these parents due to his age and the names in this family.

 

Notes for GIANNO:

It is impossible to read the first name of Rosario's wife in the two birth listings in San Piero Patti. This last name also marries into my  branch of the family in Sant' Agata di Militello.

Notes for VINCENZO X COLLORAFFI:

I am not sure that Vincenzo belongs with this set of parents.  We have information about his death, which states his age.  I placed him here because of the continuation of the Vincenzo name in this family, and the date he was born. This may or may not be where he belongs.The information on this family comes to us from Guiseppa (Josie) Collorafi Biviano of Australia, who received it from Vincenzino (Enzio) Collorafi of Australia, great grandson of Gaeteno.  (April, 1999)  It is believed that this Gaeteno is the son of Biagio.  The x means that the relationship is not proven.  When Vincenzino's daughter goes to the USA, the spelling of her name is with 2 f's, as is the custom with Biagio's children.  However, his son, Salvatore's name is recorded with only one f in the Ellis Island records.

Notes for NICOLLINA COLLORAFI:

I believe that we have the record for Nicollina's emigration to the USA in the records of Ellis Island.  They record a Filomenia, age 46, from Salina, Sicily arriving in Ellis Island in 1900.  Either the name is transcribed wrong, or Nicollina is a nickname for the name Filomenia.  Information about Nicollina being a child of these parents is from family records.

76.  CONCETTA¹¹ COLLORAFFI (DOMENICO¹⁰, MAESTRO BIAGIO⁹, GAETENO⁸, BIAGIO⁷, PADRE⁶, ANTONINO⁵, DOMENICO⁴ CULLURAFI, PLACIDO³, DON², COLOROFE¹) was born 1873 in Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia, and died March 15, 1967 in Sant'  Agata di Militello, Sicilia.  She married SALVADORE PISCITELLO October 19, 1896 in Sant' Agata Di Militello, Sicilia.  He was born in Santa Agata Di Militello,, Sicily, and died Unknown.

 

Notes for CONCETTA COLLORAFFI:

We know of Cencetta & Salvatore from their marriage records in the civil records of Sant' Agata Di Militello, Sicilia.  My father remembers his cousins, Rosalia, Angelo and Domenico Piscitello.  We see that Rosalia goes back and forth from Sant' Agata Di Miliello several times, as we find her name in the Ellis Island records.  On one return trip on the ship "Nord America" arriving in the port of New York on June 11, 1906, when Rosalia was then 8 years old, she comes from Sant' Agata Di Militello with  Giuseppe and Carlo Colloraffi - ages 19 and 17 years.  We suspect that these are Concetta's cousins.  A number of Piscitello's from Sant' Agata Di Militello come with them:  Marianna, age 12; Guiseppe, age 4; Carmela, age 15; and Antonino, age 10.  At the present we do not know their relationship to Cencetta or Salvatore.

Notes for ROSALIA PISCITELLO:

Rosalia is  the oldest daughter of Concetta. The ship manifest for the Nord America indicates that she came to the USA with her grandparents, Domenico and Giuseppa, when she was three years old and arrived in New York, from Palermo, Sicily, Italy on October 18, 1901.  She lived in the Bronx, New York with her grandparents - Domenico and Giuseppa at 1882 Barnes Ave.  Later, she lived with her Uncle Vincenzo.  Rosalia was well educated and taught languages at Hunter University in New York. This is an example of a woman leaving Sicily, and rising above the status that would have been offered her had she remained with her parents.  She often went back to Sant' Agata to visit her parents and 10 or 11 siblings.  She brought two brothers, Domenico (a diamond cutter) and Angelo (a shoemaker) to New York.  Mildred Colloraffi, wife of her cousin, Domenico, said that she married a man who was in real estate and became quite wealthy.

 

My father, Domenico, remembers Rose fondly, and was always proud of her achievements in the USA and interested in her visits back to Sicily.  He said that Rose had cousins who lived in Switzerland, and this was a link back to the Alps story that the Colloraffi family had come from the Alps.  Biscitello is an unusual name in Sant' Agata di Militello, and it is possible that cousins on her father's side lived in the Alps.  However, my guess is that, when my dad was small, he saw a picture of a Sicilian cousin in the mountains of Sicily.

Notes for BIAGIO COLLORAFFI:

We know very little about Biagio at this time.  We have his birth records from the civil records of Sant' Agata Di Militello.  We also know, from the Ellis Island records, that he entered New York in 1905, at the age of 30.  He seems to be burried in the same grave with his brother, Vincenzo.  I also believe that he was a tailor, as was Vincenzo.  In the business directory for the Bronx, in 1913, there is a "John Colloraffi" listed as a tailor at the home at 1882 Barnes Ave., which we know was the home of his parents, and his sister, Giuseppa (Jose) and her husband and many children.  There is a picture of it in this record. I believe that a picture, send to me as a picture of Vincenzo, my grandfather, is really his brother, Biagio, and I have put  it here.

Notes for GIUSEPPA COLLORAFFI:

We know of Giuseppa through her birth record in the civil records of Sant' Agata Di Militello, Sicilia, Italia.  We also see her name on the ship manifest of the Sempione, which sailed from Palermo and arrived in New York on May 11, 1900.  Giuseppa's name is spelled wrong there are GUiseppa.  She is 21 years old and single and comes with her brother, Vincenzo and two sisters, Maria Teresa and Maria.

Notes for VINCENZO COLLORAFFI:

        Vincenzo Colloraffi came to New York on a ship named Sempione, sailing from Palermo, Sicily, Italy to New York, arriving on May 11, 1900, when he was 19 years old.  This information is from the Ellis Island research project.  His parents came to New York in October, 1901 and his brother, Biagio, came at the age of 30, in 1905.  Vincenzo worked as a tailor in New York.  His sisters, Maria Teresa, Maria and Guiseppa all came to New York with him on the Sempione.

 

Notes for MARIA MODICA:

  The birth date and parents names  for Maria Modica are verified  from her social security application #060-09-2065.  Maria Modica came to the USA with her family when she was about 12 years old.  She had gone to school in Sant'Agata Di Militello and was proud of being a good student.  She told her grandchildren that when she came to New York, her parents dressed her in her best clothes and off  she went to school.  She was put in a kindergarten class with 5 year olds because she could not speak English.  She never went back to school!  Instead, she started working as a seamstress in New York.  She worked all of her life until she retired at age 65.  On her application for social security, which she filled out on November 26, 1936, she was working for Al Samuels, Inc. at 1375 Broadway in New York.  Her address was 1126 Fteley Avenue, Bronx.  She signed the form by writing her name "Mary Modica Colloraffi" and signing the form "Meri Modica Colloraffi".

 

She was a very tidy housekeeper and always had a very cheerful apartment with holy water in the bedroom and holy pictures on the walls. She wore fresly washed and starched and ironed housedresses. While in the Bronx, she lived in an Italian neighborhood and even married a man from her hometown of Sant' Agata. She worked and lived with other Italians, listened to music in Italian, read italian papers and cooked traditional foods. The address listed on her application for social security in 1936 is 1126 Fteley Ave., Bronx, NY.  She loved to talk about her mischevious twin brothers, Sam and Louie, who continued to plan jokes on each other and other people until their death, when they werein their 80's.

 

  She liked to feed her grandchildren Italian cookies and orange juice and ice cream.  You could never finish anything without having another cookie in your hand or your glass refilled.  She was a very independent woman and moved to Detroit to be near her 3 children when she retired. She had a stocked pantry so that when the weather was bad, and she could not go out, she would have food.  While on a shopping trip with her friend Inez, 2 thugs tried to grab her pocket book.  Maria fought back and ended up in the hospital with hip surgery. While recovering, she decided to spend the rest of her days in a nursing home where she grew to love the staff and they loved her.  When some of them moved to a newer facility, Maria made the arrangements to move there too.  She was remembered for tightly pinching both cheeks of a grandchild at one time - pulling the cheeks out - and saying "Youra soa cutea".  Her biggest heartbreak was that she lived to experience the deaths of two of her three children, her daughters Lucy and Josie, as well as a beloved grand daughter, Eleanor.

 

Ellis Island records have Maria coming the the port of New York with her mother, Lucia, and younger brother, Antonio on August 18, 1902 from the port of Naples on the ship Roma.  However, the records have her surname and that of her brother wrong, and well as her age.  She was 12 years old.  Her last name is listed as Regalbuto, the same as her mother's legal name.  Antonio's name is also listed as a Regalbuto.  In Italy, at the time, a woman maintained her birth name as her legal name, even though married.

Notes for MARIA CATERINA COLLORAFI:

Maria Caterina seems to be the same "Caterina" Collorafi from Patti, whose records in Ellis Island, show that she came to the USA at the age of 50 in 1899.  The records say that she came on the ship, The Archimede, sailng from Genova, and arriving in New York on October 9, 1899.  Her name is listed as "Caterine" and she seems to be traveling with a relative of her husband, perhaps a niece, Vincenza Marino, age 17 and single - also from Patti.  However, this could also be a daughter. This Vincenza eventially married Giuseppe Collorafi, son of Caterine's brother, Pietro.  We have a record of Giuseppe coming to New York from Patti in the year 1900.  Listed below Caterine and Vincenza  are several other from Patti - Antonino Arico, age 9; Maria Arico, age 7; Giovanni Arico, age 5.  There may or may not be any relationship.

Notes for MARIA GIUSEPPA AIELLO:

Maria is listed as a spinner on the birth record of her daughter Maria Febronia in 1884 in Patti.

 

Many of the Collorafi women in Patti were spinners. The writer,  D. H. Lawrence loved Sicily and lived in Taromina for many years.  He tells us about the profession of spinning in his book " On the Lago Di Garda", in the chapter titled The Spinner and the Monks.  He describes a woman spinning,  "Turning round, on the other side of the terrace, under a caper-bush that hung like a blood-stain from the grey wall above her, stood a little grey woman whose fingers were busy...Her head was tied in a dark-red kerchief, but pieces of hair, like dirty snow, quite short, stuck out over her ears.  And she was spinning...She was spinning spontaneously, like a  little wind.  Under her arm she held a distaff of dark, ripe wood, just a straight stick with a clutch at the end, like a grasp of brown fingers full of a fluff of blackish, rusty fleece, held up near her shoulder.  And her fingers were plucking spontaneously at the strands of wood drawn down from it.  And hanging near her feet, spinning round upon a black tread, spinning busily, like a thing in a gay wind, was her shuttle, her bobbin wound fat with the coarse, blackish worsted she was making.  All the time, like motion without thought, her fingers teased out the fleece, drawing it down to a fairly uniform thickness: brown, old, natural fingers that worked as in a sleep, the thumb having a long grey nail: and from moment to moment there was a quick, downward rub, between thumb and forefinger, of the thread that hung in front of her apron, the heavy bobbin spun more briskly, and she felt again at the fleece as she drew it down, and she gave a twist to the thread that issued, and the bobbin spun swiftly".
