Notes

STATED for birth date 27 October 1865 (age 76 y 9 m 16 d fits), birthplace Italy and parents Ralph Squitieri and Grace Orsa. PROBABLE that she is a sister of Alexander Squitieri (same parents' names on his 1930 certificate: Ralph Squitiere and Grace Orizio; Raffaele Squitieri and Maria Grazia Orza in the Sarno acts).

Conflicts noted: (1) Her birth date 27 October 1865 against the other Filomena's 25 September 1865 (Squitiere, d. 1944): two women named Filomena born in 1865 with different parents must not be merged. (2) Spouse 'Salvatore [Salvadore]' (Morziello) is a new name in this file.
