THE STUART FAMILY ARCHIVE
Traina household at 917 Milton Avenue — 1914 directory and 1911 passenger comparison
Evidence reference: WEB-20261018-005755-449e6871
Evidence status: Added by a family editor; independent verification not established
Historical date: 1914; comparison manifest 1911
Collection: Traina family / Chicago city directories and immigration comparisons
Original 1914 Chicago city directory, printed p. 1630, image 775/1002: Angelo, Frank, Jos and Jos Jr Traina are each listed as laborers at 917 Milton Avenue. This establishes the year and address of the four previously undated references; shared residence and Jr do not establish kinship. Four-page PDF preserves the complete directory scan and both pages of a separate 1911 comparison manifest. That manifest (Ancestry 7488/4036559735; images NYT715_1693-1196 and 1197; Athinai, list 9 line 23) reads Traina Angelo, indexed Angelo Viaina, father Giuseppe in Bagheria and brothers Francesco and Giuseppe in Chicago. Identity with the Milton resident is NOT established. Birth-town Siculiana conflicts with a later Misilmeri candidate; overwritten destination street needs further reading. Candidate draft and naturalization citations are in the PDF notes. No candidate vitals, parents, spouse or later residence adopted. Reviewed 17 October 2026.
