We certainly can help but we need more information from you about YOUR ancestor. When did he come to America? What did he considered himself to be?
we find KARAFA in Poland:
http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/karafa.htmlhttp://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/karaffa.html<>
In Slovak Republic's phone book:
http://telefonny.zoznam.sk/karafa/slovensko/http://telefonny.zoznam.sk/karaffa/slovensko/<>
Its all LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. You need to find IT among the ancestor's US records.
