Issue Number 71 of the "Gaceta de Madrid, " 12 March 1881, carried the following article: "En breve se presentará en la escena del teatro Español la señorita Graciani, primer premio de declamación en el Conservatorio. Un aplaudido escritor ha escrito para la salida de la señorita Graciani un apropósito, en el cual interpretará la <i>debutante</i> cuatro papeles distintos." (Shortly Miss Graciani, first prize in declamation in the Conservatory, will debut on the stage at the Theatre Español. An acclaimed writer has writen a work for her appearance, in which the debutane will interpret four distinct roles.")
|
Marriage | Según la historia oral, Ricardo fué rechazado por su familia por casarse con una actriz. |
Census | This was her first residence after her marriage to Ricardo BESTEIRO. |
Immigration | It is almost certain she first came to Cuba on this date, nearly 2 years after her husband Manuel (who may, however, have returned to Spain in the meantime). According to Isabel BESTEIRO GRACCIANI, she came with her children Pepita, Jorge and Isabel, and this is verified by an entry in the 2 April 1907 edition of El Diario de la Marina, which lists "Victoria Gración y tres hijos." They arrived on the steamship Reina Maria Cristina which originated in Bilbao.
|
Residence | This is where her son Francisco LAGOS GRACIANI was born in October 1908.
|
Unspecified | She traveled with her husband Manuel and youngest daughter Isabel, as indicated on their arrival together in New York. It´s not known when they traveled to Spain (only their arrival in New York on their return was noted), but in 2006 Victorina BESTEIRO ASENSIO recollected that she was told that her grandmother Victorina came to Spain from Cuba to visit and see the first of her grandchildren to be born in Spain (Victorina, that grandchild, was born in March 1913).
|
Unspecified | This was on the family's return trip from Spain. The ship's manifest notes hat they were going to visit Antonio LAGOS and Josefa BESTEIRO and their family in New York City. |
Unspecified | She was visiting her daughter and her family, then living at 344 E. 85th Street. |
Unspecified | Together with her husband Manuel, her daughter-in-law Mercedes LORET DE MOLA BETANCOURT, and her grandchildren Ricardo and Miguel Ángel BESTEIRO LORET DE MOLA, visited her daughter Pepita and her family, then living at 526 E. 83rd Street. |
Unspecified | She went to visit her daughter Pepita and her family, living on 307 Park Avenue. Curiously, although she was living in Havana (at San Lázaro 143), her husband Manuel was living in Santiago, and she was listed on the passenger manifest as "single." (It is known that they had a turbulent marriage.)
|
Living | On the 1924 passenger manifest of their trip from Cuba (arrived 7 April 1924), Victorina and her husband Manuel were listed as US residents.
|
Living | Manuel and Victorina lived first at Oak Street, then Madison Street. (This was while the Lagos family was living at 922 22nd Street.) She left Paterson - possibly for the last time - to help her daughter Isabel when Isabel's son Pepe was born in October 1928.
|
Misc | This was a mispronunciation of "Mama Victorina" by her granddaughter Carmen LAGOS BESTEIRO and became the name - for an additional 2 generations - by which Lagos family grandmothers in the US were to be known. |
Name | Her funeral card says "GRACCIANI LORENZO", and her children often used the second apellido "GRACCIANI". |
Name | This is how her name was listed on her son Emilio's birth certificate.
