Giuseppe Siragusa

1910 Census, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A year after Giuseppe's arrival, we find him living at 1946 Lithgow Avenue in Pittsburgh with the Bifarella family. This census record is a classic example of how a combination of misspellings, language barriers and Americanization of names can result in making vital information extremely had to find. Filippo Bifarella is listed with the first name of Tony and last name of Biforille, his daughter Giuseppa is Josaphina, Giuseppa Panzarella is Josaphina Ponsorella, and Giuseppe Siragusa is listed as Joe Sorose. I found this record searching for variations of Bifarella living in Pennsylvania. Conspicuously missing from the household is Filippo's wife, Anna D'Angelo. See lines 37-40
