Notes |
- Cecilia's mother, Loreta Farina, came to America along with her son, Antonino, and daughter, Anna, aboard the S.S. Duchessa DiGenova, which left from Palermo. The ship arrived in New York on March 18, 1901. It is assumed that Loreta and the children stayed in Chicago with Pietro for a period of time where Cecilia was born.
Although Cecilia was born in Chicago, she lived some of her life in Italy. She may have come to America with her sisters Anna and Antonina, and her mother, Loreta Farina, aboard the S. S. Calabria that left from Palermo and arrived at the port of New York on April 27, 1906. Her name along with the other family members' names have a line through them along with several other people on the same page of the manifest. I don't know if they were denied entry or if the line through their name was some way of "checking off" individual's names.
Another ship's manifest shows that Cecilia came to America aboard the Duca D'Aosta which left from Naples and arrived in New York on September 3, 1920. On the manifest just above her name are the names of Caterina and Allesandro Quattrocchi, residents of Altavilla Milicia, who were probably her traveling companions.
Burial: December 3, 1984, St. Joseph's Cemetery, River Grove, Cook, Illinois
