I am trying to locate information on the Crucil family name from northern Italy. I believe my grandfather Antonio Crucil and his brother Louis came from Italy to America around 1910. I beleive they originally lived near a city name Udine. My grandfather, Antonio, died in 1964, and his brother Louis, died in 1981. There are only 2-3 different extended families with the last name of Crucil throughout the entire USA and Canada.
I live in Bloomingdale, Illinois, which is very close to Chicago and it's major airport called O'Hare airport.

Hi Guy!

I think you may have spoken with some of my relatives in your search- Gus Crucil of Carson City, Nevada is my half uncle while Rudy Crucil of Sechelt, B.C., Canada is my father.

My mother and I have been working on tracking down our relatives on the Crucil side but unfortunately it's a fairly onerous task. With such an unusual name, you'd think we'd all be related somehow and it should be simple to keep track of all of us, but alas, no such luck.

My grandfather, Augusto Crucil was born in Rodda but later lived in Pulfero which is approximately 1 hour north or Udine. He came to Canada with his brother Frank sometime around 1910-1917 but no one seems to have any real official documentation on him (ie: no port of entry, no registration, etc.) even though we suspect he came through Ellis Island or Montreal (the two big ports of entry at the time). In our family tree, we don't seem to have any Antonio listed although there were six or seven siblings.

The real problem seems to with the name itself. My grandmother always said that Crucil was a name like Smith in the Fruili region of Italy. When my sister and I went to Italy on an exchange in 1988 (through a local organization which promoted Fruilan roots) we looked in every phone book we could find and it seems there were only two or three Crucils listed, all of whom were distantly related to my grandfather somehow. You have to be related somehow!

There are two other people in our family who may be able to help you. My dad's cousin, Anna (I think she still goes by the name Crucil) has done the most reserach of our extended family tree. Her brother, Frank Crucil, has a son (either Michael or Frank Jr.) who has been to that region of Italy and speaks Italian so he might be a useful source. Both Anna and Frank live on Vancouver Island (Crofton and Ladysmith respectively).

I'm not sure if my mom (I think you may have spoken with her- Pat) offered to send you copies of our documentation, but if you are interedted, I could always try to e-mail you some so you can see if it meshes with what you have. Hey, us Crucils gotta stick together!

Good luck in your search!

Hi Anthony!
I'm trying to track down the origins of my family when I found your message. I'm italian and my grandmother lived in Pulfero: I can confirm most of the informations of Julia's message. Now I live near Naples and I can't go any further with my search, because Udine is too far from here. If you want to exchange information please send an email as soon as possible, ok?
Bye!

Sergio, I have also tracked down when most of the "Crucil" clan came over to America. I have most dates and which ships they sailed over on. I believe many brothers, sisters, and cousins came over together and I am trying to determine how everyone is related! Thanks Guy Anthony Crucil! Again my e-mail address is bettergolf1@earthlink.net

Hello! Yes, I have tracked each Crucil through Ellis Island. Are you from the Crucil family?

Dear Mr.Guy,
my name is Lucia Crucil, I live in the outskirts of the town Udine. My father's name is Crucil Giuseppe , he died five years ago at the age of 92.He was born on the 11/3/1906, in a little village near Cividale del Friuli ( Mersino/Pulfero) Province Udine.His father's name was Andrew and his mother's Maria Oballa.My father travelled a lot in Europe and Africa for work but he never went to U.S.A. Instead, my mother's father, that is, my grandfather Petricig Giuseppe spent 30 years in the Chicago City. He returned Home when he retired.I don't know if we belong to the same old family, anyway I think we are in some way distant relativs. Also if I am not sure, I 'll probe the question and should like to have the opportunity to Know something more about you: My address is: Lucia Crucil via Pasiano,51/E 33037 Pasian di Prato/Udine/Italy.

Hello Lucia! I realize that it's been quite some time that I replied, I had chnaged my email address around then, and forgot to update everything all this time. Yes, I firmly believe we share great grandparents or great great grandparents.

At some point & time, I truly wish to visit Udine. I have this strong desire to return to the area that my family came from.
