THE STUART FAMILY ARCHIVE
Paul Sr. Criola death index names Geremia and Palma
Evidence reference: 300.10.023
Evidence status: Full Illinois death index inspected; original certificate pending
Collection: 300_Fiore_Traina
The Illinois Deaths and Stillbirths index names Paul Sr. Criola, born 1869, died 25 September 1931 Chicago, age 62, father Geremia Criola, mother Palma Gentile, wife Angelina Criola. This independently supports the parents named in the contributed-tree lead, but the tree may have copied this index. The underlying death certificate, informant and birthplace are not shown. Birth estimates in the 1920/1930 censuses differ by one or two years; retain them as conflicting estimates. Linking this family to Camille Traina still requires resolution of Carmella’s later identity.
