ConfirmedRosalie was my great-grandmother. She was born in 1921, the year Molise was still part of Abruzzi e Molise, and she lived long enough to see me finish college. Most of what I know about the Radicellas, I know because she remembered it.
01 — What I knowQuello che so
- Born December 30, 1921; died October 10, 2020, at 98.
- Daughter of Gioacchino "Jack" Radicella and Anna Costanzo, who came from Monreale, Sicily.
- Married Peter L. Scimone. Their children: Lauretta (my grandmother), Anthony, Anna Marie and John.
- Her siblings were Jerry, Frank, Cecelia and Josephine. Jerry spelled the name Radicelli.
- Her sister Josephine married Peter John Stamatis Sr. in 1947.
02 — What I'm still verifyingDa verificare
- Where exactly she was born — Cleveland is family recollection; I haven't found the record.
- Which of her grandchildren belong to which of her children. Eight names are still "parent not yet assigned" in the tree.
- Her father's dates. "c. 1886–1955" is an online lead, not a document.
