> Hi, I came across your querie while researching Formicola, Province of

> Eventually settled in Upstate NY (Saratoga Springs). D. 12/31/1942.
> He had one brother, Francesco, who arrived in US in 1902, settled in
> Saratoga Springs, NY, d. 1944.  And a sister, Filomena, also settled
> in Saratoga, d. 1939. The Arpaia's in Saratoga went by the name
> Arpey.  There's another group whose roots also go back to Formicola
> -Pontelatone.  For a while they went by the name Arpaio and eventually
> rendered it Arpei.  They live in Saratoga, too.  The second
> mentioned above married a Carolina DiRubba.  For a brief period in
> the 1890s they lived in Saratoga then moved to New Haven, CT. 
> The two Vicenzo's were cousins.
> My grandmother, Crestina Cappella, also from Formicola, b. 1880,
> arrived US 1898, d. 1965.  There are not too many Arpaia's left in
> Formicola.  When I was there in 1978 there was only one family of
> Arpaia's in Formicola.  Thought I'd pass this along, FYI.
