*For the simple reason that the Antommarchi family was not among the "first" Corsican families in Puerto Rico. The list is a historical list which contains the surnames of the first 403 Corsican families who immigrated to Puerto Rico in the 19th Century which was compiled by genealogist and historian Colonel (USAF Ret. ) Hector A. Negroni. dozens of other Corsican families immigrated to the island after the initial 403 families. This is the same reason that the surnames of Mayra Calvani, Luisa Capetillo and Vicente Carattini, who are of Corsican descent are not on the list. Tony the Marine (talk) 01:29, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed 
* Filardi, Carmelo - Artist, author
from the list of Corsican immigrants in the article.  I don't see if that is a reliably sourced list or not.
This is because i received/noticed mention by an editor at the Filardi House article that: "As it is evident in the Census taken during 1910, Carmelo Filadi, my great granduncle came to Puerto Rico in the late 1990's as part of a family with 4 children. His Father was Vicente Filardi,and his mother Maria Cantisani. the couple had an additional four other chidren in Puerto Rico. The family came from a town called Luria Superiore in Bassilicata, Italy. people have confused his origin because of the great number of emmigrants fron Corsica." with reference to the census.  According to that, Carmelo Filardi was not Corsican. --doncram (talk) 05:31, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

message: With all due respect to Héctor Negroni, not all of the surnames listed are Corsican. For example, Arenas is most probably Castilian in origin while Artigau, Mari and Pellicer are Catalan. Grillasca sounds Iberian. Lacroix is French; it means "the cross". I don't know if Fantauzzi, Franqui and Pierluissi were among the first Corsican families to arrive in Puerto Rico but arrive they did. By the way, I have a primo hermano whose paternal last name is Bartolomei, Corsican in origin and included in Negroni's list. I notice that the article does not mention that the Corsican immigrants intermarried with long-established families, thus becoming Puerto Rican and contributing to the Puerto Rican gene pool. The Corsicans, however, did not intermarry only with white families. Thus, Ernesto Ramos Antonini, a dark-skinned Puerto Rican, was of Corsican ancestry on his maternal side. 68.173.246.248 (talk) 01:32, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
