01_people/person-giovanni-iacofano-1880.md Record notes
- Created after user acceptance of source-naturalization-index-card-for-giovanni-iacofano-1903 on 30 April 2026.
- The accepted naturalization index card records Giovanni Iacofano of 57 Norman St., Cleveland, Ohio, born in Italy on 20 July 1880, arrived in the United States on 23 July 1897, and naturalized in the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court on 4 April 1903 under Petition No. 20829.
- The accepted 1903 petition and oath/endorsement images corroborate the Giovanni Jaciofano name variant, 57 Norman residence, 20 July 1880 birth date, 23 July 1897 arrival date, and Petition No. 20829/4 April 1903 naturalization lane.
- This person is kept separate from person-john-iacofano-1874 because the accepted naturalization records' 20 July 1880 birth date conflicts with the about-1874 John/Giovanni profile, and the records do not name a spouse, child, parent, exact Italian birthplace, or later Random Road household context.
- The proposed source-naturalization-name-cross-reference-card-for-giovanni-jaciofano may describe this same naturalization file name variant, but it remains proposed until separately accepted.
