Lucia, my email is
guy@forebettergolf.com, so if you wish to email direct please do so! I believe that my great grandfather's name was Michele Crucil (first name spelling may be incorrect) and he married my my great grandmother, and her name was Maria Cernetig. They had, I believe 6 children (Antonia, John, Pierina, Anton, Luigi, and Victoria) I may have misspelled some of their first names??? I believe that only Pierina, Anton (my grandfather) and Luigi came over to the States. Along with them, many of their cousins also came over between 1906 & 1913. I have traced most of the "Crucil" family & cousins coming over to Ellis Island, NY. Almost every Crucil, when entering the USA, listed either Rodda or San Leonardo as their hometown. When they arrived, they were all between 22-30 years old, except for 2 Crucil's (Agostino at 49 years old in 1913 and Giovanni at 43 yrs old also in 1913). Pierina was the first, I think, to come over in 1906, and I believe she was my grandfather's sister. I believe my grandfather, Anton or as we called him Anthony, came over in the spring of 1907. Pierina and Anton settled in Chicago, Illinois and the rest usually followed them at least temporarily to Chicago, then moved on, and most eventually moved on to the Vancouver, British Columbia Canada to settle for good. My grandfather married Justina Battaino when she came over later with more of the Crucil family by boat.
