• Notes

  Helen had two stepsisters and stepbrothers likely by her mother as the boys have a different surname than DiFucci. Their names were Mrs. Virginia Limano and Mrs. Josephine Dalessio, and Anthony Passilla, all of Meadville, PA and Phillip Paa of Florida. In the 1930 census, she is listed as having emigrated in 1902. She was naturalized and could speak English. She was born in Italy. Her age at marriage did not match her age currently. She was listed at age 33 and married at age 14. Her husband was listed at age 43 and married at age 21. Obviously one of these ages is incorrect. Since she was having children by 1907, I suspect she was a child bride of age 11 and her husband was age 21.
