--- NOTES ---
- E.D. corrected from 92-469 to 92-769 based on high-resolution re-read of the census image
  submitted 2026-04-22. The image clearly shows "92-769" in the E.D. field at top right.
- Mary Iacofano (née Laurenzo) connection confirmed: the 1941 Cuyahoga County marriage record
  for Arthur Joe Iacofano names his mother as "Mary J. Laurenzo" — the same person as
  Mary Iacofano, head of household, born Italy. Her late husband was John Iacofano.
- Joseph Iacofano (line 37, age 22, born ~1918, Ohio) is likely Arthur's older brother —
  son of John Iacofano and Mary (Laurenzo) Iacofano. He married Rose Marie (b. ~1921, Ohio)
  before the 1940 census and they had their own household at a nearby Block 17 address.
  Joseph does not yet have a person record in the archive.
- The surrounding households on this census page (Pariso, Arigo, Civello, Rosa, Di Francesco,
  Mastendrea) are predominantly Italian-born or Italian-American, consistent with a Cleveland
  Little Italy neighbourhood in Ward 19.
- Supplementary questions at the bottom of the page record Paul Civello (line 14) and
  John Di Francesco (line 29) with Italian-born parents.
- Arthur's surname is shown through household ditto marks on lines 33–36 rather than being
  rewritten on each line.
