seeking Grandma's birthdate-Paola Presti Cozzo

[LauraTex]

Hi,

I have a cousin in Italy right now and she is nice enough to get my grandma's birth certificate for me. However they are having trouble finding her. My grandma's name was Paola Presti Cozzo. Her mom was named Teresa and her father Carmelo. She came to the US Nov. 23, 1908.

Later she married a Samual De Juno.

I have also seen her surname spelled Lo Presti and so that adds confusion.

Someone else on this site helped me find her ship arrival document.

Thank you.

Can you tell us where they settled in the US

Hi, yes they settled in Cleveland, Ohio. Thank you.

[LauraTex]

Also my Grandpa De Juno, Paola's husband seems to have had his last name "americanized". In Italy his last name has been spelled D'Aguanno and D'Aquanno. But that is separate from my grandma's birth.

[LauraTex]

My Aunt can no longer remember her mom's birth-date but thinks she was born in October. The birth-date year range is 1897-1906 circa.

Something not right here I think Paola surname was Vinci and she was from Militello Rosmarino province Messina

About "but about the Paola mother maiden name, the mystery continue, because on Paola Birth record the mother was Teresa Lo Presti, but the both travelled with Presti Cozzo surname"

I was wondering if in Italian they might mean the same thing( Lo Presti and Presti Cozzo) ? Like how people write Jas to mean James or something similar.
