1673 –

FamilySearch Family Tree profile GXX2-BQ4 reports Nicola Iacofano, male, born about 1673. The only visible attached source in the user-supplied excerpt is a San Emidio parish stato d'anime source for Agnone Casa 32, taken across 1745-1750, where Giacomo Iacofano is reportedly recorded as a married household head with spouse Isabella Frezza and parents Nicola Iacofano and Vittoria Ferrone. A public Agnone GEDCOM extract independently shows Nicola Iacofano `GXX2-BQ4` and Vittoria Ferrone `GXXL-CJV` as parents of Giacomo Iaciofano `GH6G-GYQ` in family `F8930`, but this is still compiled evidence. If the original San Emidio parish census image verifies the entry, Nicola and Vittoria may be parents of Giacomo in an Agnone Iacofano branch, but no bridge currently connects this branch to Tony Iacofano's Cleveland line or to the Busso comparison leads.

1700 –

A public ItalianGenealogy surname-origin thread reports Gio. Andrea Iaciofano, born in Busso circa 1700, married Elisabetta Piaccio of Campobasso and had at least four children in Campobasso between 1723 and 1743. This may be an early Busso/Campobasso Iaciofano clue for the surname's older branch, but no original parish, notarial, or civil record has been captured.

1728 –

A user-supplied FamilySearch indexed death entry reports Sebastiano Finizia, age 84, occupation proprietor, died in Sepino on 7 November 1812, certificate No. 112, with parents Domenico Finizia and Margherita Gualterio and an associated spouse/child entry for Cristina Maglieri. The user flagged this as a possible most-distant relative on Tony Iacofano's maternal Mary Ricciardi line. The current repo proves Mary Ricciardi's parents as Domenic/Dominic Ricciardi and Christina/Christania Polletta/Pauletta, but it does not yet contain the intervening Sepino generation chain connecting those anchors to Finizia, Gualterio, or Maglieri.

1790 –

John McKinnon (born ~1790, Isle of Mull; emigrated 1808; buried Campbell Cemetery, Seafoam, Nova Scotia) may be a collateral relative — possibly a sibling or cousin of Lachlin MacKinnon, the father of Donald Mac Kinnon (baptized 1815/1816 at Malpeque Road, PEI). His gravestone reads "emigrated to this Island in 1808" but is located at a mainland Nova Scotia cemetery — "this Island" most plausibly refers to Prince Edward Island, where the archive's existing McKinnon line (Lachlin MacKinnon → Donald Mac Kinnon) is documented. Both men share the McKinnon name, both are associated with early-19th-century PEI-area Scottish settlement, and both trace to the Hebrides/Argyll region of Scotland. John's ~1790 birth year makes him too young to be Lachlin's father but a generation-mate or sibling relationship is plausible. If John emigrated to PEI in 1808 and Lachlin was already on PEI by 1815 (when Donald was born at Malpeque Road), a familial connection is possible.

1794 –

John McKinnon (born ~1794, Argyllshire; died 12 August 1857 at Campbell Cemetery, Seafoam, Pictou County, Nova Scotia) is a Scottish emigrant to Atlantic Canada from the same regional origin (Argyll) as the McKinnon families already documented in this archive. He may be a relative of Lachlin MacKinnon (father of Donald Mac Kinnon, baptized 1815 at Malpeque Road, PEI) or of the companion lead John McKinnon (Isle of Mull, born ~1790), whose stone stands in the same Campbell Cemetery. Both McKinnon leads share a common Argyll/Hebrides origin, and both were buried in the same Pictou County, Nova Scotia cemetery. A family tie between the two John McKinnons (and through them to the PEI McKinnon line) is plausible but unconfirmed.

1815 –

Donald Mac Kinnon, born at Malpeque Road and baptized at St. Paul's Church in Charlottetown in 1816, is likely part of the Prince Edward Island McKinnon line connected to Margaret Mac Kennon, the spouse of Walter George Ponceby. The 1844 marriage register documents Donald McKinnon marrying Elizabeth Jardine, and later Boston and Ohio records in the archive name Donald McKinnon and Elizabeth Jardine as parents in the same broader family cluster. This lead keeps that connection open without promoting Donald to a canonical person record before user review.

1831 –

User-supplied FamilySearch source details, with metadata-confirmed Busso image targets, report Mariantonia Priano as the first wife of Biase Iaciofano, married in Busso on 20 March 1858, mother of Filomena born 17 April 1861, and deceased in Busso on 25 August 1865. If verified from original images, her death provides the likely opening for Biase's reported 1866 marriage to Anna Maria Santangelo.

1832 –

FamilySearch metadata confirms the Busso Nati 1832 image reference for a user-supplied birth transcription naming Biase Iaciofano, reportedly born 12 December 1832 in Busso to Giuseppe Iaciofano and Marianna Ranallo. A second FamilySearch metadata capture confirms the Busso Matrimoni 1858 image reference for a user-supplied marriage transcription naming Biase Iaciofano and Mariantonia Priano. Additional user-supplied source details point to daughter Filomena in 1861, Mariantonia's death in 1865, and an Ohio 1910 marriage index for Lorenzo Taciofano as son of Biagio and A. Maria Santangelo. This makes it plausible that the 1858 Priano husband and the later Santangelo husband are the same man, but the original images and intervening records have not been reviewed.

1837 –

A public family page for Samuel Henry Seem names Samuel's parents as Herman Seem, born in 1837, and Mary Jane Myers, born in 1845. Herman is a possible paternal grandfather lead for Lola Louise Seem, but the assertion currently depends only on the public family page.

1845 –

A public family page for Samuel Henry Seem names Samuel's parents as Herman Seem, born in 1837, and Mary Jane Myers, born in 1845. Mary Jane Myers is a possible paternal grandmother lead for Lola Louise Seem, but the assertion currently depends only on the public family page.

1857 –

Clarence Seward Darrow, the attorney, is the Darrow-line comparison target for the Shirley Jean Armstrong maternal-line research question. His parentage and paternal Darrow ancestry must be independently documented before any claimed relationship to Shirley through Minnie Darrow can be evaluated.

1861 –

User-supplied FamilySearch source details, with metadata-confirmed Busso image targets, report Filomena as a daughter of Biase Iaciofano and Mariantonia Priano, born in Busso on 17 April 1861. A later reported 1894 Busso marriage to Antonio Mulierini names Filomena, age 33, as daughter of deceased Biase and Mariantonia Priano, which would corroborate the 1861 birth if the images are verified.

1864 –

Emma J. Conrad was recorded as a 30-year-old housekeeper born in Nova Scotia when she married Donald G. McKinnon in Boston on 29 August 1894. She is a possible collateral relative by marriage if Donald G. McKinnon belongs to the same PEI McKinnon line connected to the Ponceby family.

1865 –

Donald G. McKinnon was recorded as a 29-year-old carpenter born in Prince Edward Island when he married Emma J. Conrad in Boston on 29 August 1894. His parents were recorded as Donald and Elizabeth, making him a plausible child of Donald McKinnon and Elizabeth Jardine and a possible collateral relative in the same PEI McKinnon line connected to the Ponceby family. This remains unconfirmed until a source directly ties him to the same Donald McKinnon and Elizabeth Jardine.

1868 –

Margaret Mac Kennon, recorded in Boston marriage records as the Prince Edward Island-born wife of Walter Pownceby and daughter of Donald Mac Kennon and Elizabeth Jardine, may be the Margaret Ann McKinnon in the PARO baptismal index who was baptized at Hampton on 19 October 1868, with father Donald McKinnon, mother Elizabeth, and birthplace/residence recorded as DeSable. The match is plausible on name, age, place, and parents, but remains unproved because the PARO index does not state the mother's surname, the Boston records do not use the middle name Ann, and a compiled Island Register page places the same Margaret Ann McKinnon candidate in a Donald McKinnon and Elizabeth McKay family with a Harvey John Risteen marriage/census path.

1870 –

Lola Seem's 1909 Ohio birth certificate names her father as Samuel Henry Seem, age 38, born in Sandusky County, and living in Freedom Township near Bradner. A public family page states that Samuel Henry Seem was born on 19 May 1870 in Ohio, died on 4 June 1962 in Bowling Green, Ohio, married Minnie Eva Darrow, and was a child of Herman Seem and Mary Jane Myers. Treat Samuel as Lola Louise Seem's father lead pending user review and stronger image-backed corroboration.

1874 –

The accepted 1941 Cuyahoga County marriage record for Arthur Joe Iacofano names Arthur's father as John Iacofano. The accepted 1920 census records John Yaciofano, age 46 and born in Italy, as head of a Cleveland household with wife Mary and children Albert and Anna at house number 2025. That house number may connect to Arthur's 1941 residence at 2025 Random Rd., but a second document should corroborate the John/Giovanni identity before promotion.

1875 –

Lola Seem's 1909 Ohio birth certificate names her mother as Minnie Darrow, age 33, born in Monroe County, and living in Freedom Township near Bradner. A public family page names Lola's mother as Minnie Eva Darrow Seem, born on 25 April 1875 in Youngstown, Ohio, died on 15 July 1933 in Bradner, Ohio, and married to Samuel Henry Seem. Treat Minnie as Lola Louise Seem's mother lead pending direct marriage, death, census, or cemetery evidence.

1876 –

A public ItalianGenealogy Busso thread reports a Giovanni Iaciofano, born about 1876 in Busso, as a child of Biagio/Biase Iaciofano and Anna Maria Santangelo. The date range, surname variant, and same-surname Busso cluster make him a candidate to compare against Tony Iacofano's John/Giovanni Iacofano lead, but there is not yet any document-backed bridge to Arthur Joe Iacofano, Mary J. Lorenzo/Laurenzo, Cleveland, or 2025 Random Rd.

1878 –

A user-supplied Facebook thread reports a Busso-born ancestor named Liberato Iaciofano who arrived in the United States in 1908 on the Konigin Louise and died in New York City on 18 July 1933. A New York City death certificate for Liberato Iaciofano confirms a same-name Bronx peddler who died on that date after a truck/runaway-horse accident, but it records age 55, 42 years in the United States, wife Filomena, father Domenick, mother Anna Venditta, and son Dominic. The certificate does not state Busso, so this remains a collateral Busso/New York lead rather than a proven relative of Tony Iacofano's line.

1885 –

The proposed 1941 marriage record for Arthur Joe Iacofano names his mother as Mary J. Laurenzo. The proposed 1940 census records widowed Mary Iacofano, age 54 and born in Italy, as household head with Arthur and likely siblings. The proposed 1920 census records Mary Yaciofano, age 35 and born in Italy, as wife of John Yaciofano in a household with a 2025 house number. Together these are a strong lead for Arthur's mother, pending user acceptance and corroboration.

1886 –

Two Wood County birth-register sources for Paul Edward Armstrong name his mother by maiden name as Effie Hill, with possible alternate readings of Epha or Alpha. A WCDPL newspaper license notice identifies Thomas Armstrong's 1906 bride candidate as Orpha Hill, a 1939 death notice names Thomas's wife as Orpha and son as Paul, and a 1941 Shroyer obituary identifies Mrs. Orpha Armstrong as a foster daughter of Mrs. Marie Shroyer. Orpha Hill and the birth-register Effie/Epha/Alpha Hill may be the same person, but the given-name reading and canonical relationship still require user review and preferably the original Wood County marriage record, census images, and death or cemetery evidence.

1891 –

Domenico Ricciardi, born 29 August 1891 in San Giuliano del Sannio, is a strong candidate for Tony Iacofano's maternal grandfather. Existing accepted and proposed repo sources identify Mary Ricciardi's parents as Domenic/Dominic Ricciardi and Christina/Christania Polletta/Pauletta. The new image-backed 1920 declaration and 1927 naturalization petition give Domenico's exact birth date, Italian-origin locality, wife Cristina, and children Maria, Nicola, and Angelina, while the user-supplied FamilySearch birth index gives parents Nicolangelo Ricciardi and Maria di Niro. A proposed Providence passenger manifest candidate has also been located, but it conflicts on residence/birthplace and initial U.S. destination, so it should remain a review-gated arrival clue.

1895 –

The proposed 1944 naturalization certificate card records Mike Iaciofano, age 49, of 1840 Woodlawn Ave, East Cleveland, as naturalized in the U.S. District Court at Cleveland on 7 September 1944. A 1943-1944 Cleveland city directory entry for "Michl (Concettina)" Iaciofano at 1849 Woodlawn av EC may describe the same man and a spouse/household connection to Concetta Iaciofano, but the address difference and relationship are not resolved by the card alone.

1898 –

Proposed Cuyahoga County naturalization cards record Concetta Iaciofano at 1849 Woodlawn in Cleveland/East Cleveland and state that she was naturalized in the U.S. District Court at Cleveland on 17 November 1944. The proposed 1943-1944 Cleveland city directory includes a same-address entry for "Michl (Concettina)" Iaciofano at 1849 Woodlawn, suggesting a possible household connection to Mike Iaciofano or a separate Cleveland Iaciofano collateral cluster, but no document yet connects Concetta to Arthur Joe Iacofano, Mary J. Laurenzo/Iacofano, or Tony Iacofano's line.

1910 –

The proposed 1920 census lists Albert Yaciofano, age 10 and born in Ohio, as a son of John and Mary Yaciofano. If this is the same family as Arthur Joe Iacofano's parents, Albert is a likely collateral sibling who may generate marriage, obituary, military, or death evidence naming the same parents.

1914 –

The proposed 1920 census lists Anna Yaciofano, age read as 6 and born in Ohio, as a daughter of John and Mary Yaciofano. If this is the same family as Arthur Joe Iacofano's parents, Anna is a likely collateral sibling who may generate marriage, obituary, or death evidence naming the same parents.

1915 –

The proposed 1940 census lists Biagio Iacofano, age 25 and born in Ohio, as a son in widowed Mary Iacofano's Cleveland household, directly above Arthur Iacofano. Biagio is a likely collateral sibling whose records may name John Iacofano and Mary J. Laurenzo or identify the family's Italian origin.

1918 –

The proposed 1940 census lists Joseph Iacofano, age 22 and born in Ohio, as a nearby Cleveland household head immediately following Mary Iacofano's household. His surname, age, location, and shared beer-truck industry with Biagio make him a likely collateral sibling of Arthur, but a direct relationship record is still needed.

1919 –

The proposed 1941 Cuyahoga County naturalization card records Mrs. Olga M. Iacofano, age 21, at 2017 Random Rd in Cleveland, naturalized at age 7 through father Domenico Mancini's papers. The card states that she married John Iacofano in 1937 and that John was born in Cleveland, matching proposed 1942 and 1943-1944 city-directory entries for John L. and Olga Iacofano at 2017 Random Rd. This appears to be a useful same-surname Cleveland collateral lead, but it is not yet connected to Arthur Joe Iacofano's family.

1925 –

The proposed 1940 census lists Dorothy Iacofano, age 15 and born in Ohio, as a daughter in widowed Mary Iacofano's Cleveland household with Arthur. Dorothy is a likely collateral sibling whose marriage, obituary, or death records may name the same parents and help corroborate Arthur's maternal line.

1927 –

A 1950 Detroit border crossing manifest card records Catherine (Kathrya) Margaret Ponceby, born in Edmonton, Alberta, on 7 June 1927, entering the United States to reside permanently with father Donald Ponceby at 9715 Logan Court, Cleveland, Ohio. She may be Donald Edwin Ponceby's daughter, stepdaughter, adopted daughter, foster daughter, or another relative using the Ponceby surname; the same card names Peter Cook of Cranbrook, British Columbia, as her brother. A Cuyahoga County Probate Court marriage index entry for Kathryn Margaret Ponceby and Robert Ray Johnson may be the same woman under a variant spelling, but it does not name parents, so the identity should remain a lead until corroborated.

1928 –

The proposed 1961 naturalization certificate card records Francesco Iaciofano, born 13 October 1928, of 11117 Woodland, Cleveland, as naturalized in the U.S. District Court at Cleveland on 24 February 1961. The card establishes a same- surname Cleveland naturalization subject but does not identify parents, spouse, birthplace, or a relationship to the Arthur/Mary Iacofano line.

1928 –

The proposed 1940 census lists Lawrence Iacofano, age 12 and born in Ohio, as a son in widowed Mary Iacofano's Cleveland household with Arthur. Lawrence is a likely collateral sibling; a full obituary or death record may name parents, siblings, or an Italian-origin clue.

1930 –

The proposed 1956 naturalization certificate card records Antonietta Iaciofano, born 1 October 1930, of 11807 Woodland Avenue, Cleveland, as naturalized in the U.S. District Court at Cleveland on 16 November 1956. The card establishes a same-surname Cleveland naturalization subject but does not identify parents, spouse, birthplace, or a relationship to the Arthur/Mary Iacofano line.

1944 –

The accepted 2018 obituary for Mary Iacofano names a son John Iacofano. The 2021 Tony Iacofano Army narrative captions a 1945 drawing as "Mary Iacofano with baby John." The proposed 1950 census page for Arthur's household lists John A., age 6, as Arthur and Mary's son, and the proposed 1962 Euclid city directory lists John Iacofano at Arthur and Mary's 373 E 232d household and business address. Together these sources suggest a likely son John Iacofano of Arthur J. Iacofano and Mary Ricciardi Iacofano, probably born about 1944, but direct birth or later identity evidence is still needed.

1947 –

The 1965 Euclid High School Euclidian yearbook senior index records "LYNDA LEE IACOFANO" with nickname Lynn, and the senior portrait page records "LINDA IACOFANO" beside Anthony Iacofano. The same surname, same school, and same graduating class make Lynda a plausible Iacofano-family connection, but her relationship to Tony/Anthony, Arthur J. Iacofano Sr., and Mary Ricciardi Iacofano is unknown until another household, obituary, birth, marriage, or directory source corroborates it.

1952 –

The accepted 2018 obituary for Mary Ricciardi Iacofano names a son "Art (Cheryl) Iacofano." Three 1973-1974 Euclid News-Journal notices name Art Iacofano, twice at 373 East 232 St., the same household address recorded for Anthony L. Iacofano in the accepted 1971 Euclid News-Journal notice. The college graduation and student-teaching context make this likely a younger Art/Arthur Jr. in Arthur Sr. and Mary's family, rather than Arthur J. Iacofano Sr., but direct birth, marriage, obituary, or household evidence is still needed before promotion.

Dates not yet resolved

A public ItalianGenealogy Busso thread reports Anna Maria Santangelo, born 13 February 1846 in Busso, as the woman who married Biase Iaciofano on 5 July 1866. A user-supplied FamilySearch Family Tree source-list excerpt separately reports a 1910 Cuyahoga County, Ohio marriage-index clue for Lorenzo Taciofano that names parents Biagio and A. Maria Santangelo. If original Busso and Ohio records verify those claims, Anna Maria may be the mother of the Busso Giovanni/Lorenzo comparison candidates, but there is no document-backed bridge to Tony Iacofano's Cleveland John/Giovanni line.

Dates not yet resolved

The 1920 Domenico Richardi declaration names wife Cristina, born in Italy and then residing in Italy. The 1927 naturalization petition names wife Cristina, born January 1891 in Italy and residing with Domenico in Cleveland. Existing Mary Ricciardi sources name Mary's mother as Pauletta/Christina or Christina nee Polletta. A proposed 1921 passenger manifest for Cristina Polletta gives last residence/birthplace as S. Giuliano, Campobasso and appears to show her joining husband Domenico Ricciardi in Cleveland. These likely describe the same woman, but her parents and marriage record remain unverified.

Dates not yet resolved

The Ohio Death Record Index lists Dorothy D. Ponceby dying in Cuyahoga County on 20 February 1956. A Cuyahoga County Probate Court historical marriage index entry separately records Donald E. Ponceby as groom and Dorothy Pastis as bride, case 1900ML947317, volume 474, page 0358. Dorothy Pastis may be the same person as Dorothy D. Ponceby, a prior or later spouse in Donald's Ohio trail, or a different Dorothy entirely; the full marriage record and death certificate are needed before accepting the connection.

Dates not yet resolved

Elizabeth Jardine married Donald McKinnon in Prince Edward Island on 24 October 1844. She is plausibly the Elizabeth Jardine named as a parent in records tied to the archive's McKinnon/Ponceby line, but she should remain a lead until an accepted source directly establishes the relationship to an existing canonical person.

Dates not yet resolved

A Cuyahoga County Probate Court historical marriage index entry records Donald E. Ponceby as groom and Helen L. McDonald as bride, case 1900ML1056660, volume 530, page 0235. A separate 1957 passenger manifest lists Donald E. Ponceby with Helen M. Ponceby. These likely describe the same later Donald spouse, but the middle-initial conflict and missing full marriage record keep her at lead level.

Dates not yet resolved

A 1957 S.S. Santa Rosa passenger manifest lists Donald E. Ponceby and Helen M. Ponceby on adjacent lines as first-class passengers returning to New York. Helen M. may be Donald Edwin Ponceby's later wife after Catherine Mackie Horne's 1927 death, but no marriage or identity record has been accepted yet.

Dates not yet resolved

The 1940 Cleveland City Directory lists Donald D. or Donald E. Ponceby with Jane N. at 1890 E. 97th, apartment 2. The 1942 Cleveland City Directory lists Donald E. Ponceby with "Jane N" in parentheses at 9715 Logan Ct, and a following entry lists Jane as a nurse at University Hospital residing at the same address. Jane N. may be Donald Edwin Ponceby's wife between Catherine Mackie Horne's 1927 death and the 1957 passenger manifest that lists Helen M. Ponceby.

Dates not yet resolved

A user-supplied FamilySearch source-list excerpt reports a 1910 Ohio marriage index record for Lorenzo Taciofano, born in Italy, marrying Palmino Tanno in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The index reportedly names Lorenzo's parents as Biagio and A. Maria Santangelo. This may be an Ohio-side bridge for the Busso Biase/Biagio Iaciofano and Anna Maria Santangelo family, but the agent could not retrieve the FamilySearch indexed record directly.

Dates not yet resolved

A user-supplied FamilySearch indexed birth entry for Domenico Ricciardi, born 29 August 1891 in San Giuliano del Sannio, names Maria di Niro as Domenico's mother. If verified from the original birth image and linked to Tony's Mary Ricciardi line, Maria di Niro would be Tony Iacofano's maternal great-grandmother on the Ricciardi side.

Dates not yet resolved

An Alberta vital statistics deaths index entry (record no. 102-875, Edmonton, 1932) records Marjorie Eleanor Ponceby, who died in Edmonton on 8 December 1932. Marjorie could be a later spouse, sibling, or other collateral relative in Donald Edwin Ponceby's Alberta network. Earlier notes treated her as a possible child of Donald Edwin Ponceby and Catherine Mackie Horne, but a separate Edmonton Journal catalog search result viewed on 23 April 2026 appears to give born-about 1907 and a married-style entry beginning "Mrs. Do"; because that catalog page was not accessible for verification, treat the spouse clue as unconfirmed.

Dates not yet resolved

A user-supplied FamilySearch indexed birth entry for Domenico Ricciardi, born 29 August 1891 in San Giuliano del Sannio, names Nicolangelo Ricciardi as Domenico's father. If verified from the original birth image and linked to Tony's Mary Ricciardi line, Nicolangelo would be Tony Iacofano's maternal great-grandfather on the Ricciardi side.
