2009 Obituary of brother Joseph Jr.

email from Leah Frazzini, Mar 2012: "The number my dad gave me for his Uncle John was wrong, but I found the right one on the internet and called him. John said that he had 5 uncles and aunts, so all together Dominic and Jennie had 6 children, from what I can tell so far. John didn't remember his grandfather and grandmother's name off-hand, but recognized Dominic and Jennie's names after I told his wife. John was hard of hearing. Dominic and Jennie had Caesar, Albert, Dora, Florence, Joseph, and Rose. "

Sherry met many, many people in her life and loved most of them. She was a person who told you like it is, whether you liked it or not. She would stand by you and give you the shirt off her back. Believe you me, her shirt came off more times than we wanted it to! Sherry met most people at the Cubby Hole Lounge where she had been employed prior to working at Better Baked Foods.

Film 1448675 Nati 1879 #77, one of twins.
1899 14 Jun EI arrival - likely - 19y, going to Jersy/Iersy, PA (I'm pretty sure that this is an Italian's attempt at writing Erie), traveled with sister, Elvira Frazzini and her husband, Antonio Frezza.

1910 census, not found.

1920 census, Erie, PA, 30y, Listed as Joseph Fritzni. boarder at house of Crist Antica and wife Mary. Single, imm 1900. Laborer at Perry Iron Works. I believe the age is wrong and should be 40y.

1920 and 1930 census show a Domenick Frazzini (b 1883) in Erie. I believe that is Giuseppe's brother.

1920 20 Aug - marriage record to Mary Mussi Longo in Erie, PA. 37y, divorced Nov 1911. Father Chessie (most likely Cesare) dead, mother Filomena Helena (most likely Calini) living in Italy.

think that was to his first wife, Julia Onorato. That would have been about 1906. 424 Parade St.

Zip Code: 16421

Possible: Social Security Death Index
Name: Mary Fritzine
SSN: 195-01-9327
Last Residence: 16507 Erie, Erie, Pennsylvania, United States of America
Born: 21 Aug 1891
Died: Feb 1975
State (Year) SSN issued: Pennsylvania (Before 1951)

In the 1930 census, Mary is listed as 33y old. This would make her born
about 1897. It is also listed that she was first married at 21y. This would
make the marriage about 1918. Joseph, listed as 17y, would have been
born about 1913 and Margaret, listed as 15y, would have been born about
1915. Both birth years are then before Joseph and Mary got married.

BUT I found a Social Security Death record that says a "Mary Fritzine", Erie,
PA was born 21 Aug 1891 and died Feb 1975. That would mean the age
in the 1930 census is wrong and Joseph and Mary were married
about 1912 before Margaret and Joseph were born. This is probably
the more likely story.
