Baptism register, Diocese of Nicosia: Joseph Basile, born 12 April 1910, baptised 13 April 1910, Nissoria, son of Augustino Basile & Rosa Muratore (Session 62).Confirmed
Confirmed as the youngest / last child: a rare-parent search (children of Agostino Basile & Rosa Muratore) returns only Philip (1908), Josepha (1909, d. infant) and Joseph — no later child is indexed (Session 62).Confirmed
Fate after 1910 still open: unlike his sister Josepha, Joseph has NO Nissoria death record, so he likely survived and returned to Chicago with the family — but the 1920 Chicago household is unindexed (surname mangled), so his adult life/marriage is untraced.Inherited
Re-attempted Session 69 — still walled. Rare-parent US searches (Joseph/Giuseppe Basile/Basilo constrained by father Agostino/Augustino and by mother's maiden name Muratore) returned only unrelated Basile men (New York, Palermo, Camporeale, etc.) — FamilySearch's fuzzy engine does not honor the parent filters here, and no candidate matches a Joseph b. 1910 with parents Agostino Basile & Rosa Muratore. This is the same US-index wall that hides Agostino & Rosa's own households; Joseph's adult fate needs a record image or an ordered certificate, not an index search.Inherited
