my great grandfather Jack Raggio
« on: Thursday 09 July 09 02:58 UTC (UK) »
Well I’ve done some reading and I’m anxious to get started and get some help from the wonderful people on this site.    Smiley I think I’m in the right place, so here goes –

One of my biggest problems is my great grandfather, he was my mother’s grandfather and his name was James Alphonse Raggio.  But he was known as Jack.  Here’s what I know about him –

He said he was born in Louisiana in Oct 1861 and his father was from Italy and his mother was from Louisiana.  But I have never found his parents.  Jack married Catherine Roy and they had 10 children.  Catherine was from Louisiana.  In 1900 and 1910 he was in Grand Chenier, Cameron Parish, La.  He was a farmer and then a laborer.

It looks like Jack left his family or divorced before 1920 because in the 1920 census Catherine is in Grand Chenier but with another husband – it looks like Jack Mayut or Mayart.    Sad

But maybe Jack wasn’t born in Louisiana.  My mother says she thinks that he was born in Italy.   Sad

I need help to find out about Jack before 1900 and mostly who were his parents?  When did his father come over from Italy?  Or did Jack come from Italy himself?  I hope someone can help.   Cheesy
