Cassone

[Shrugs05]

Well, I hit a road block and I am lost as to where to search. I ordered a copy of my GGM's birth certificate hoping I would find the original surname...but I didn't. It had the changed surname and plus an affidavit when it occurred. My GGM is Rose Mary Carson (born 01/27/1905). The original surname is debatable among my family. Some think it is Cassone and some think it is Carsone. Her birth date is debatable too. Some think it is 01/27/1905 and some think 09/18/1905 (according to her DC). Now, Rose was born here is the US (Girard, Ohio to be exact). I am also trying to find information on her parents too. On my GGM's BC, it says Vincenzo Carson and Philomena Antilof. Of course, those are incorrect surnames. I have no clue where to start and I would appreciate if someone can help and clarify this issue for me. Such a mess this is. Thanks.

Currently there are close to 145 people in Bellona with the surname Carusone
and close to 30 people in Bellona with the surname Antinolfi

Hmmmm, these are possible VJ. I uploaded my GGM's death certificate. Perhaps this can help.

Hi!

Since the Birth Certificate is probably the more accurate record
as far as her parents, it appears we have the correct family.

Her husband Carl was the informant on her death certificate?

Is it possible that her parents died and she was adopted by relatives?
That would explain why they are so difficult to find in census records after
1910...

Any chance the Carson family is buried together in Calvary Cemetery?

To be honest I am not sure. This is where it's puzzling to me. On the birth certificate, the parents are different from that of the death certificate. Yes, Carl (my GGF), signed off on my GGM's DC. I called the Girard vitals office and they said that is correct document and the only file they had (regarding the birth certificate). This is confusing, no? lol

1920 census

Hmm....what I still don't understand is the different names for the parents. On the death and 1920 census it says Andrew and Mary but yet on the birth it says Vincenzo and Philomena.

I guess the most logical explanation is that you have two Rosa’s.

If Vincenzo (James) and Andrea? (Andy) were brothers, chances
are based on their census records, that
- they immigrated about the same time
- married abt the same time
- named their 1st daughter Rosa, probably after their mother…

If the birth occurred in the hospital(?) and the records would also contain a copy of the birth record which normally is prepared in the hospital or at least a preliminary application for a final state birth certificate. perhaps if you went back to the place of birth and obtain the original records (if they still exist) and see what the file discloses. =Peter=

[vj]

Do you know which church they belonged to?
St Rose?
They should have the family’s records (birth, baptism, marriage, etc)
There are quite a few Carusone’s in Girard…

Today, I discovered that my GGM birth certificate is wrong. LMAO Go figure. So Andrew and Mary (on the death certificate) are her real parents. Would anyone be able to find information about them? Additionally, what would the original surname be? Thanks.
