Rose Muffoletto from Cefalu

savagewards — 2009-04-27 17:12:35Z

I am trying to locate info on a family from Cefalu. My great grandfather was listed on his wedding as Samuel Radice Muffoletto, mother Rose Muffoletto & father unknown. This was Feb 1, 1891. They later came to Baltimore using other names. He arrived in 1898 as Samuele Radice Esposito and she & 1st 3 kids traveled in 1900. She used her maiden name as usual but kids were listed as Radice for last name. After arriving in Baltimore he began using the name of Michael Sanfilipo. It has always been assumed by the family that he knew his father's name but couldn't use it while in Cefalu.

Mary Sanphilipo-Ward

Samuele/Michael was born Aug 25 1864 but I have not found a birth for him yet. All help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to say that is all I have for now on Rosa Muffoletto. I am trying to find the birth cert for her son, my great-granddad but time is tight right now. I will keep your email info in my file & get back to you. Thanks. savagewards@verizon.net

Re: Early Muffoletto's from Buffalo via Cefalu

fanyak1 — 2008-12-05 05:27:33Z

Yeah, I've kind of gotten away from ancestry.com....I hired a geneologist that specializes in Sicily and she has gathered me tons of information, including copies of birth, death and marriage certificates dating back to the early 1800's.....If you can give me any more information, birthdates, death dates, etc. from any Muffoletto's, I may be able to pin-point the branch on our tree, which stretches some six feet wide when printed out.....my personal e-mail is Fanyak@aol.com......What part of the country do you live?.......Sam Muffoletto

Re: Early Muffoletto's from Buffalo via Cefalu

savagewards — 2008-12-04 19:53:26Z

Hello I know this is long overdue but this is the first I've seen this group.
First, I just wanted to say that women travel under their maiden names. That should give you a bonus. ;-)
Next, I am from a Muffoletto line from Cefalu but have not found much. My great-grandfather's (Michael Sanfilipo also known as Samuele Radical Muffoletto and Samuele Radice Esposito) marriage record (Feb 1, 1891) lists his mother as Rosa Muffoletto of Cefalu. The father is listed as unknown but after Michael came to America (1898), he claimed that Joseph Sanfilipo was his father.

Hi Sara,

I got the information off a surname map lookup. So it could be that for some reason your branch of the muffoletto's failed to be listed anywhere to make the map. Given is a relatively uncommon surname, it is likely that missing a branch or two of the name might lead to hugh variation in possible locations of orgin. I also suspect that marital customs and small towns moved the families back and forth, Cefalu being one of the magnets, like Valledolmo.

If I wouldn't be so sure when you say that 99.9% of the Muffolettos are from Cefalù and that there are some who live in Termini. In Termini there are hardly any.I'm a Muffoletto and my father was from Gratteri and that is where most of the Muffoletto's come from.They immigrated to Cefalù because in Gratteri there was nothing to offer. And there are many other Muffoletto's who live in Campofelice.

Hi DonnaMarie,

As with 99.9% of all Muffoletto's they came from Cefalu and like many not only started out in Western NY, but stayed in the area. The other 0.1% is mostly from Termini Imerese (but I even they were originally from Cefalu). It seems to me that I mapped out (speculated) someplace the various routes they took from Cefalu, but if you have some data, then I can rethink some of this. I feel a new burst of research coming on. In any event, the place of origin doesn't help much in sorting the Muffoletto's other than to say we are clearly ALL closely related (moreso than the rest of the island :)) coming from the same small town . I have the trees scattered about this site and others about the net. Look for Pasquale Muffoletto and Rosa Pulvino and you should come up with lots of hits. I have even some of my library research and such enshrined of halls of the family trees at ancestry.com. I myself refuse to submit a GED. (Hopefully you will ask me why....hint hint) :)

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. There are a few changes in the Pasquale tree. It is just so long, I hate to repeat it here unless you ask me to (hint hint). though I suppose I could email it. Well, enough of being a pain.
thanks in advance...
Dale

Hi Sam,
At some point along the way my name became Mike Inglisia, supposedly temporarily, through some email access I got and it just seems to appear in various places even though it is still me, Dale David West. In any event, yes, at this point I tend to agree about the widower issue. I think it was a second marriage for BOTH of them and that they BOTH had prior children that need accounting for. I seem to have addressed this somewhere on these pages. I am sure it will come back along the wheel with a few more bits of data.

Re: Muffoletto search

2003-09-15 23:31:30Z

Whether we like it or not, I think all of us Muffolettos are related.....back to Cefalu.....The earliest Muffoletto's I have detected are Antonio Muffolett, who married Mario Catalano (early 1800's) , who had at least one child, maria Muffoletto (born Sept. 22, 1835 in Termini, Sicily...........and Guiseppe Muffoletto, who married Stefano Culotta(early 1800's)....those two's children were Maria Grazia Muffoletto (born April 18, 1825), Salvadore Filippo Muffoletto (born June 2, 1823) and Luigi Antonio Muffoletto, born Jan 10, 1828.........

Hi Again,

Well, yes I am researching all Muffoletto lines. The information on the three "lines," branches really, I was working on slowed. So I started gathering data on a few more lines in the hopes of putting the tree together of this family that scattered its branches to the winds.

Dale

Re: Muffoletto search

2003-09-15 23:08:14Z

Hello Dale. Where are the Muffolettos, your mom from. Did she immigrate to Baltimore, Louisiana, Mississippi or Chicago?
Maybey I can help. I am researching all as well and have some inf.

Hi DonnaMarie,
Yes, my mother is a Muffoletto. I am working on the premise that ALL Muffoletto's are related. I just have yet to find the connection, but I will.

Hey Mike......Alot of which you stated I can verify....My great-grandmother was Anna Culotta (2) and I thought her three childresn Mary (my grandmother), Sam and Rose were indeed her step-children....You have her date of birth correct (May 24, 1864), but it's uncertain if she was born in Cefalu or Buffato.....It could be that she went to Cefalu to retrieve my great-grandfather's (Giuseppe) three kids from a previous marriage...Maybe he was widower........I'm going to have sit down and carefully read everthing you sent....thanks again....until later, Sam

Hi. I was told that Giuseppe Muffoletto came with his son Salvatore Muffoletto first and he then sent later for the rest of the family. One year later.I have searched for him as well and not lucky.Are you researching this family also? Let me know.

Hello. Giuseppe Muffoletto and Anna LaManna had these children.Not sure really if Giuseppe had Girolama with another woman and brought her to USA. I have spoken to the daughter of Antonio Muffoletto (which she doesnt know anything of her fathers past or the grandfather) but she did tell me that Salvatore came with his father Giuseppe first and then after 1 year sent for the rest of his family. It seems that the Muffoletto family wasnt a close family. I have written to many of them and no response at all from most.Giuseppe is buried in Chicago as well as his wife Anna Muffoletto.
Are you researching this family and what relation are you? Cosima Rose Muffoletto was my great grandmother married to Pietro Caracciolo ( Caracci)
