lead-cristina-polletta-1891
Possible relative
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.
