The most common error seems to be the month. I am reminded of an old saying of that generation's, "A hundred years
from now, what will it matter?" Footnotes: a. Giuseppe Favazza's Terrasini DOB recorded as 21 Sept 1875. US records list DOB as 21 March 1875 b. Susanno was probably Sassano in Sicily. Lorenzo was likely an orphaned child or grandchild of a cousin of both his adoptive paternal grandmother and adoptive maternal grandfather. c. Il certificato di stato di famiglia from Terrasini lists Carlo's YOB as 1915, although family thinks it is 1913. d. Pietro Favazza's Terrasini DOB recorded as 11 Feb 1888. US records list DOB as 13 Dec 1888. e. Vegliano seems to have been originally Vigliano. Place of birth was possibly around Naples. f. Benedetta LoPiccolo's gravestone erroneously notes her DOB as 16 Dec 1869. g. This is the oddest situation. Although several of the siblings said there were 11 children and that only 9 survived mentioning a baby that died as well as little Anna and the fire, there is no birth or death record for this baby. My dad told me there was a baby Salvatore who died of a seizure or fever and Aunt Mary said there was a baby who who died before she was born in 1912, but the archives say that a baby Salvatore Favazza who died of cerebal meningitis about that time was a neighbor baby, not a sibling. I speculate the "lost baby" was a miscarriage Grandma Antonia had about 1910, and somehow this story from a neighbor Salvatore named after his dead sibling made an impression on my father. Also, Salvatore would be inconsistent with papanomic tradition in the 2nd son position arguing against the 11th sibling story.
