Next Suggested Moves Handoff - 23 April 2026

Current Repo State

• Latest completed pass preserved two additional proposed CPL directory sources:
  • source-cleveland-city-directory-page-for-iasofano-john-entry-1921
  • source-cleveland-city-directory-page-for-iaicofano-entries-1932
• Active views already updated:
  • online-resource-pass-1920-1940-2026-04-23
  • iacofano-paternal-line-review-2026-04-23
  • shirley-armstrong-seem-research-queue
• No 01_people/ record was edited in the continuation pass.
• Closing hygiene status from the latest pass:
  • python3 scripts/validate_records.py: 0 errors, 3 warnings
  • python3 scripts/media_library.py audit: 0 missing blobs, 0 bad blobs, 1 pre-existing duplicate-hash warning

Best Next Move

The best next move is no longer more public CPL or WCDPL paging.

Use the prepared library-request and signed-in-access lanes in this order:

1. Submit the prepared CPL Day 1 scan request.

   • HIR: HIR-20260423-010
   • Packet: iacofano-library-scan-requests-2026-04-23
   • Highest-value targets:
     • Maria Iacofano 1976 Plain Dealer obituary
     • Lawrence J. Iacofano 1997 Plain Dealer obituary
     • John Iaciofano 1932 CPL necrology/cemetery record

2. After Day 1, use the same packet for CPL Day 2 and WEPL/Morley follow-up.

   • HIRs:
     • HIR-20260423-011
     • HIR-20260423-012

3. If signed-in/manual search access is available, move to the Iacofano census/naturalization lane.

   • HIRs:
     • HIR-20260423-014
     • HIR-20260423-015
   • Priority targets:
     • 1930 census household for John/Giovanni and Mary/Maria surname variants
     • Cuyahoga County naturalization declarations, petitions, cards, and voter-naturalization indexes
     • Federal Cleveland naturalization indexes/cards

Exact Research Focus

For the signed-in Iacofano lane, prioritize:

• Surnames:
  • Iacofano
  • Iaciofano
  • Yaciofano
  • Jaciofano
  • Iaicofano
  • Iasofano
• Given names:
  • John
  • Giovanni
  • Mary
  • Maria
• Address and household clues:
  • 2025 Random rd
  • grocery / grocer occupation
  • Albert / Biagio / Joseph / Lawrence collateral lines

What Is Effectively Closed

• Public CPL directory lane for this pass:
  • now covered at 1921 part 1, 1921 part 2, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932, 1936, 1938, and 1940
• Public WCDPL 1920-1940 exact-phrase retry:
  • browser route works
  • no new artifact strong enough to ingest

Do Not Spend Time On First

• Do not retry broad public WCDPL exact-phrase searching as the next move.
  • The browser retry already showed the remaining hits are no-result pages, weak social mentions, broad unrelated OCR, or already-ingested Thomas/Orpha items.
• Do not ingest the 1921 CPL Laurenzo page 77729 unless the street reading becomes decision-critical.
  • Current page-image reading: Laurenzo M lab bds 2025 Rondell rd
  • It does not yet cleanly resolve to Random rd.
• Do not update any 01_people/ file unless the user accepts the proposed sources.

If Manual Access Is Not Available

If the next run cannot use library staff, user submission, sign-in, or paid/archive access, the best move is to stop after confirming repo hygiene rather than forcing weaker public-source work.

Worktree Note

• git status showed an unrelated untracked frontend/ directory during the last pass.
• It was not part of the family-history research work and was left untouched.
