Research Notes

R1	1910 United States Federal Census for Manhattan Ward 12, New York City, New York, district 0295, sheet 23B. Lines 79-86: Household of Antonio Sciolo, 31, and his wife Maria, 37. They've been married for 13 years (first marriage for each) and have had four children together, all of whom are living and all of whom are present in this household. Daughter Lizzie, 12, son Dominik, 9, daughter Ida, 5, and daughter Margaret, 2. Also present are a lodger named Nicolino Vincivera, 21, and a "father in law" named Costartius Cachioni, 18. Dominik, Ida, and Maragaret were born in NY, everyone else and everyone's parents were born in northern Italy. Antonio immigrated in 1898, Maria and Lizzie followed in 1899. Maria cannot speak English. Antonio works as a tailor in a factory. The margin notes indicate that they live on E(?) 119th St. The census is dated 27 Apr 1910.

This source seems very appealing because the age for our Margaret Anna Sciallo is a dead match, as is the first name for her mother, Maria Pellegrino. The name "Sciolo" is a plausible misunderstanding for "Sciallo." The "father in law" would seem to be a deal-breaker, since it would presumably be Maria's father, making her maiden name not Pellegrino. However, the man listed as a "father in law" is also only listed as being 18 years old and single. So there is something odd about this record which could be enumerator error. It is not clear who Mr. Cachioni is or who's father-in-law he is supposed to be. Aside from this, the match for our Margaret Anna Sciallo and parents seems feasible given the (limited) information we have at this time. --Mouser 2012.03.18
