Birth Date: 26 Aug 1878
Race: White
FHL Roll Number: 1926736
DraftBoard: 2
Nearest relative: Carmela Lauria d'Agostino (wife)
this is the birth act for this person, from Ancestry.com:
Birth Act number 280 - Year 1878
D'Agostino Giuseppe was born in Campobello di Licata on the day 26 august 1878, son of Giuseppe D'Agostino, age 23 and of a woman living with him but not married who didn't want to be named.
important annotation on the left side of the act:
"Con atto Giuseppe Fontana è stato dichiarato figlio naturale di Agata Lo Curto.
1/10/98"
So, with an official act Giuseppe D'Agostino (born on 1878) on 1898 was declared as natural son of Agata Lo Curto. Agata Lo Curto was the mother of Giuseppa/Josephine D'Agostino (named on the 1913 arrival manifest)... no doubt they were brother and sister.
