Hi Tessa
Not trying to resurrect this post but new information is coming to light to suggest a 20+ year timeline in the birth of the Pelosi siblings and makes sense to have some quick access to background info.
Recent correspondence with IG member "mjclayton1" has left me with a query about the birth date for Evelina. I am now convinced Evelina and Ermellina (Teresa) are not the same person but are sisters. Recent checks amongst US Census records and Immigration documents clearly show Evelina's birth year as 1901 a full 18 years after Ermellina's birth. Her birth place is recorded as Italy and immigration date of 1922 suggesting she spent a full 21 years in Italy at the turn of the century before leaving for a new life in for California.
Also looking purely at the birth timeline for Vincenco and Maria's children, it is apparent they were reasonably consistent, producing a child every couple of years on average
17 Nov 1880 (Giovanni Eugenio Alfredo Frediano)
30 Dec 1881 (Giovanni Giuseppe Armanno)
29 Aug 1883 (Ermellina Maria Teresa)
27 May 1886 (Maria Maddalena Erina)
26 Mar 1889 (Maria Oliva Isola)
25 Jun 1891 (Maria Emilia Edgive)
16 Jun 1893 (Maria Isma Gilda)
28 Jun 1895 (Giovanni Pietro Corrado)
23 Dec 1901 (Evelina)
However I notice a gap between Corrado Pelosi (1895)and his sister Evelina (1901) of almost six years, leaving the possibility that 2, or even 3 (although unlikely) other children could have been born. To answer whether these children survived or not is not crucial for me for now but I would like to rule out the possibility of additional siblings.
I am hoping you will undertake a quick check of the records you are able to access to see if any other siblings can be traced between 1896 and 1901.
Many thanks
