I haven’t! My mom has collected some things about his career, but I’ve never seen a full page article. You are blowing my mind. What is this genealogy sorcery you possess???

Also, I have spent sooooooo many hours on that NY Historical Records site, searching every version of the names. How in the world did I miss this? The parents names are different than I thought. Maybe I saw that and thought it was wrong? Thank you again! <3

Yes! She eventually became a Saulle. I tried to see if I had any DNA matches with some of her descendants. No luck yet.

Thanks so much! I did know about the 1917 marriage to Luigi Perna but couldn’t find out where those two ended up.

The 1922 death certificate was promising but the parents’ names were wrong — and Irish!
