Welcome
to the Mangeruca genealogical research page
My
Grandfather's birth certificate has 3 different spellings for the surname
on it.
Mangiaruca, Mangeruca and
Mangiaruga
and as I have
been going through the records for Africo and
S. Stefano D'Aspromonte, Reggio
Calabria, Italy
I have found all 3 spellings on
different certificates plus Mangeruga, Mangiaruva, Mangeruva, Mangieruca
and a few other spellings.
Sometimes the spelling will be
different from father to son.
The spellings
of the surnames are as they appear on the Birth
or Marriage certificates I have seen.
I am dedicating my work on
this site to the memory of
my grandparents :
Francesco Mangeruca and Rosa Marotta Mangeruca
and to my father
H. Carmelo Mangiaruca

Manjaruka and probably more.
Currently most of the family I
have located in Italy, France and Australia
use the spelling Mangeruca.
I want to extend a
special thank you to my cousins
Giuseppe and Pietro Maviglia for the special help they gave
me in my research.
And to all my cousins in Australia and Italy.
Mangeruca
surname:
The family name of Mangeruca was
first recorded in Italy in the early fifteenth century. First recorded in
Rome, Italy, according to "Rietstap's Armorial General &
Dictionary of Names", the name could only have derived from Scandinavian
(Danish) origin. During the period 400-500 a.d., these Nordic warriors,
mostly from Schleswig, made plundering raids (described as "Migratory
Invasions' by more charitable historians than Rietstap) on most
countries of the then-known world. consequently their influence on the
origins of names in both Europe and to a slightly lesser degree in Britain,
was considerable and widespread.
The armorial bearings to Mangeruca
were granted in L'Auila in the sixteenth century. The name held Civic
Status in France in the 17th century.
