[CORRECTION] An earlier note had 'Frances Elizabeth' possibly split into two people after the 1930 census listed 'Frances' and 'Elisabeth' separately - but the vital records show a single FRANCES ELIZABETH (1924-1998). Treated as one person; still-unfound death/spouse for Carmela, Maria Antonia, Josephine and Frances are the remaining gaps for this cluster.Inherited
