Antonette Fiorito (Lo Bosco) - More information?

ok let's try this again...I created a memorial for Antonette's father and mother, and some of her siblings on findagrave. I accessed David's ancestry files and found death dates for most of theher siblings, but all I had on Antonette was her date of birth, marriage and death. Nothing else. What is it you are looking for?

Hi Private User

Well, this makes Antonett the first cousin once removed of Private User but Lynn's father and aunts said they don't know of Antonett....

So we were wondering if there was something else to explain this... I did see the marriage record at: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-61DS-JQB?mode=g but do we know any more?

John

so you are actually dealing with Antonette's mother (Francesca Lombardo)'s side of the family, not the LoBosco side. Will have to look at it some more.

Hi Caryn, my grandfather is the brother of Francesca. My father, and two aunts have no recollection of an Antonette. All three confirm she is definitely NOT a daughter of Francesca's. This is what has brought about the discussion.

If I can ask any other questions of my family, let me know.
Happy New Year,
Lynn Lombardo Stanley

Interesting...

I have that her name is also Lena...

Name Lena Fiorito
SSN 169-10-1434
Last Residence East Mc Keesport, 15035, Allegheny, Pennsylvania, USA
Born 13 Apr 1908
Died Oct 1983
State (Year) SSN issued Pennsylvania - Before 1951

I actually have a copy of her birth records, but not sure how to upload it here.

I just uploaded it to the media part of Antonette's profile.

Let me know what you think.

This is interesting... It would make sense that Anthony Lo Bosco and Francesca Lobosco would name their first daughter Antonina/Lena/Antonette ....

Are there any easily accessible local obituaries for PA to look up her or the siblings or the parents to see what they say?

Is anybody in touch with any of the nieces or nephews of Antonette to maybe understand why she wasn't known to Lynn's family?

This seems to be the family in the 1930 Federal Census...and there she is...

Actually here is the obituary for one of the siblings, Mary Catherine Venturino : http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/triblive-pittsburgh-tribune-review...

It says "In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Ralph Salvitore Venturino, on July 5,1984; her sisters, Antoinette Firito and Josephine Gobita; brothers, Frank, Vincent "James," and Peter Lobosco."

Private User do those sound like the names of the ones that your Aunt and father knew of?

Okay, so it looks legit to me. I called my aunts back to discuss and see if we could speak to someone closer to that branch of the family. My aunt gave me the number for Frances Lo Bosco, daughter of "Jim" Lo Bosco. I have left a message on her voicemail, and am waiting for a return call. As soon as I hear, I will let you know.

I am on the phone with Frances Lo Bosco, she has confirmed that Antionette "Lena" Lo Bosco Fiorito did exist!!!! She passed in 1983. So, it will be interesting to see what my father and aunt's say when I tell them.

I was going to give you Frances Lo Bosco's name. She's a great gal! I'm friend with her on facebook. Her grandfather and my Great Grandfather were brothers.

I have found out amazing things in the past. I just found out my Grandfather Lobosco had a brother who died of pneumonia as an infant. I just found that out last week and I never knew it!

Hi David, yes, she was fun to talk to. My grandfather and her grandmother were siblings. It's interesting the things you find out when you start looking. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year as well!

Small world!
