Olga Iacofano and Catherine Horne Proposed Source Review

Created: 3 June 2026

Boundary

This packet prepares three existing proposed source records for user review. It records the user decision to promote only these source records to accepted. It does not change any event status, does not edit canonical person records, and does not modify raw artifacts.

The review goal is narrow: decide whether these source records can be accepted for the facts they directly state, while preserving the separate identity and registration blockers already tracked in human-input-required-next-steps.

Completion Decision

On 3 June 2026, the user accepted:

• source-1940-census-page-for-john-and-olga-iacofano-household for census household and residence facts only.
• source-1950-census-page-for-john-l-and-olga-iacofano-household for census household and residence facts only.
• source-alberta-marriage-index-catherine-m-horne-1924 as index-only support for Catherine M. Horne in the 1924 Edmonton marriage index.

No canonical John/Olga spouse identity or child relationships are authorized by this decision. Those remain blocked pending the 1937 John Iacofano and Olga Mancini/Iacofano marriage record or equivalent relationship-bearing evidence. HIR-20260423-004 remains open for the full Alberta marriage registration.

Review Queue

Source 1 - 1940 John and Olga Iacofano Census

Source: source-1940-census-page-for-john-and-olga-iacofano-household

Directly stated facts to verify:

• FamilySearch image 110 of 808, image group 005460751.
• Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, Ward 19, ED 92-469, sheet 25-B.
• Enumeration date 24 April 1940.
• Household head recorded as Iacofano, John.
• Olga is recorded as wife, age 20, born Italy, citizenship/naturalization column read as Na.
• Children are recorded as John Jr. and Donald; Donald's age is already flagged as unclear.
• Street is recorded as Random Rd; the house number is not confidently repeated on the John Iacofano line.

Narrow acceptance scope if the image checks out:

• Accept for the 24 April 1940 census household, residence context, and names/roles as recorded.
• Keep Donald's exact age as a review caution.
• Do not use this source by itself to identify John as a specific canonical John/Giovanni Iacofano.
• Do not add canonical spouse or child relationships from this source alone.

Still blocked after acceptance:

• The 1937 John Iacofano and Olga Mancini/Iacofano marriage record or equivalent relationship-bearing bridge is still needed.
• This remains part of the open Iacofano relationship-bridge work already referenced in the human-input archive.

Source 2 - 1950 John L. and Olga Iacofano Census

Source: source-1950-census-page-for-john-l-and-olga-iacofano-household

Directly stated facts to verify:

• FamilySearch image 62 of 82, image group 108884850.
• South Euclid, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, ED 18-310, sheet 61.
• Enumeration date 20 April 1950.
• Address recorded as 1540 Belvoir.
• Household head recorded as Iacofano, John L., age 30, born Ohio.
• Olga is recorded as wife, age 30, born Italy, citizenship/naturalization as yes.
• Children are recorded as John, Donald, Beverly A., and a likely infant daughter read as Margueritte; the final child's name and age are already flagged for recheck.

Narrow acceptance scope if the image checks out:

• Accept for the 20 April 1950 census household, residence context, and names/roles as recorded.
• Preserve the uncertainty around the final child's given name and age.
• Do not use this source by itself to identify John L. as a specific canonical John/Giovanni Iacofano.
• Do not add canonical spouse or child relationships from this source alone.

Still blocked after acceptance:

• The 1937 John Iacofano and Olga Mancini/Iacofano marriage record or equivalent relationship-bearing bridge is still needed.
• The child identities need stronger relationship records before canonical updates.

Source 3 - Catherine M. Horne Alberta Brides Index

Source: source-alberta-marriage-index-catherine-m-horne-1924

Directly stated facts to verify:

• Alberta Vital Statistics Brides Index, series Brides Ho, 1919-1950.
• PDF page 9.
• Entry indexed as HORNE CATHERINE M.
• Marriage place Edmonton.
• Marriage year 1924.
• Index number 242.
• The matching groom-index source is source-alberta-marriage-index-donald-e-ponceby-1924.

Narrow acceptance scope if the index entry checks out:

• Accept as official index evidence that Catherine M. Horne appears in the Alberta brides index for Edmonton, 1924, index no. 242.
• Treat the Donald E. Ponceby pairing as supported by the separate matching groom-index source, not by this brides-index entry alone.
• Keep this source subordinate to the underlying marriage registration.

Still blocked after acceptance:

• HIR-20260423-004 remains open until the full Alberta marriage registration is ordered, located, or otherwise documented.
• The full registration is still needed for the exact date, residences, ages, parents, witnesses, officiant, prior-marriage status if stated, and Horne/Mackie/McKay naming.

User Decision Template

If the review images match the source records, a narrow approval could be:

Accept source-1940-census-page-for-john-and-olga-iacofano-household and source-1950-census-page-for-john-l-and-olga-iacofano-household for their census household and residence facts only. Keep John/Olga spouse identity and child relationships blocked pending the 1937 marriage record or equivalent relationship-bearing evidence. Accept source-alberta-marriage-index-catherine-m-horne-1924 as index-only support for Catherine M. Horne in the 1924 Edmonton marriage index, while keeping HIR-20260423-004 open for the full Alberta marriage registration.

If any image or transcription detail does not match, leave the affected source as proposed and record the correction needed before acceptance.
