Scope and content note:
The following is some of the information contained in the alien case file:

Date of Birth: 02/11/1885

Date of Entry: 11/01/1896

Port of Entry: New York, NY

Country of Birth: Italy

Review note:
This is a strong candidate for Mary/Maria Giovanna Iacofano nee Lorenzo/Laurenzo of Cleveland because it has the rare Iaciofano/Iacofano surname, given name Mary, Italian birth, and exact 1885 birth year. The Catalog excerpt does not state spouse, residence, Cleveland, parents, or maiden name, so identity remains proposed until the A-file is reviewed.

Reading notes

Things to be careful about

  • This is a Catalog metadata/index source only, not the A-file itself.
  • Identity fit is strong but not proven
    rare Iaciofano/Iacofano surname, given name Mary, Italian birth, and exact 1885 birth year fit Maria Giovanna Iacofano nee Lorenzo/Laurenzo of Cleveland, but the Catalog excerpt does not state spouse, residence, Cleveland/Cuyahoga, parents, or maiden name.
  • NARA official A-file guidance says A-file requests should include complete name, National Archives Identifier, and Alien Registration number; this Catalog entry supplies all three.
