01_people/person-john-iacofano-1874.md Record notes
- Created after user acceptance of source-obituary-plain-dealer-maria-iacofano-1976 on 26 April 2026.
- The accepted 1941 Cuyahoga County marriage record names Arthur Joe Iacofano'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 son Albert.
- The accepted 1976 Plain Dealer obituary for Maria Giovanna Iacofano, nee Lorenzo, describes Maria as wife of the late John.
- Mary Iacofano is recorded as widowed in the accepted 1940 census, so John's death is recorded only as before 24 April 1940 until a death record or cemetery record is accepted.
- A CPL necrology index for Iaciofano, John, with lifespan 1887-1932 remains unresolved and may represent this person or a separate same-surname person.
