Notes
STATED for his birth date (the age line fits 1860), birthplace Italy and parents Ralph Squitiere and Grace Orizio (informant Grace Squitiere, probably his wife or daughter; the certificate does not say). Spouse Filomena named as living at the time.
Conflicts noted: (1) The Next-Steps file lists his wife as Philomena (Martino); this certificate and hers (1944) call her Filomena, and her 1944 maiden name is Gingliano [Giugliano?], which agrees with the Sarno marriage of 1888 (Antenati act 6) and not with Martino. (2) Last digit of the birth year is doubtful (1860 or 1866); the age line (70 years, 1 month) fits 9 Nov 1860.
