1918 Carmine Santoro WWI Draft Registration

Fileccia Family Information

The next 12 posts are information on the Fileccia's and their in-laws in preparation for the picnic.

If you check out the June postings, you can see that for the Morris picnic I actually went to the cemetary and took pictures of the tombstone of the first William and Rose Dougherty Morris who came to the US and are George's great great grandparents on his father's side. William and Rose came from Counties Donegal and Tyrone in Ireland.

If anyone would like to send pictures to be uploaded, or write some anecdotes or history of the family, I would be willing to post them. I will not discuss or post pictures of the living, just the dead - for safety purposes.

I hope you enjoy the blog and if you have any questions or corrections, please let me know. You can print your own copies of the scans. Double click to enlarge, file, print.

Joseph and Louisa Bartola lost two children in their infancies. Pneumonia and convulsions were frequent causes of death in the early 1900s. Philadelphia death certificates are available for the years 1803-1915 thanks to the Latter Day Saints websites.

1906 NY Immigration Salvatore Fileccia going to his brother, Gaetano, in Philadelphia

I cannot find a Salvatore Fileccia (b. 1889) in any published census in Philadelphia. In 1910 there is a Salvatore in Cambria County, PA (a boarder) and in 1930 in NYC married to a Katie. Needs more research - does anyone remember any mention of him?

1920 & 1930 Gaetano Fileccia family census records

Concetta did not return from Italy until November 12, 1910 and I believe she missed being counted (the census was done in the spring of that year). Gaetano has proved elusive, I suspect that he was not counted in 1910 also.

1920 and 1930 finds the family at 1316 South 16th Street, Philadelphia, PA.

First scan is the Boston record of Concetta Marotta coming to America on March 9, 1904 with Salvatore and Carmen Fileccia. She went home to Italy (when ?) and returned in 1910 through New York.
