Record notes

  • The accepted 1941 Cuyahoga County marriage record for Arthur Joe Iacofano names Arthur's mother as Mary J. Laurenzo.
  • The accepted 1940 United States census records Mary Iacofano as a widowed, Italy-born, 54-year-old household head in Cleveland with Arthur Iacofano, age 17, recorded as her son.
  • The accepted 1920 United States census records Mary Yaciofano as the Italy-born wife of John Yaciofano in a Cleveland household with house number 2025; the surname variant and address make this a strong lead connection to Arthur's later 2025 Random Rd. residence.
  • John/Giovanni Iacofano remains a lead until another document-backed source corroborates him.
  • Exact birth date, death date, maiden-surname spelling, and Italian place of origin remain unresolved pending death, obituary, naturalization, church, or passenger records.

Census Record

1940 Census - Mary Iacofano Household and Joseph Iacofano Household, Cleveland, Ohio

Checked High

24 April 1940

1940 census page, Sheet 25-A, for Block 17, Ward 19, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Two Iacofano households appear: (A) Mary Iacofano (widowed, age 54, born Italy) heads a household with sons Biagio (age 25, Helper/Beer Truck), Arthur (age 17), Lawrence (age 12) and daughter Dorothy (age 15); (B) nearby, Joseph Iacofano (age 22, Ohio-born, married, Helper/Beer Truck) lives with wife Rose Marie (age 19). This is a strong proposed source for Arthur in Mary Iacofano's household and for likely collateral sibling leads.
