Frank Monasteri

Frank Monasteri. Birth: 8 Aug 1906, Partanna, Italy (original birth act, corroborated by father’s petition and SSDI). Father supported by original petition; recorded mother supported by correlated passenger manifest. Source 300.10.047. Later events added below from source 300.10.049. The 1921 passenger manifest identifies Francesco Monasteri, 15, as Felicia Muratore’s son, joining father Saverio Monasteri in Chicago. His age, parents and Partanna origin correlate with Frank born 8 August 1906 in the petition. Felicia is added as his recorded mother. Source 300.10.048. Spouse, children and death are now supported by source 300.10.049. Source 300.10.049: Cook County death index names parents Sam Monasteri and Felicia Muratore, spouse Mary Licata, death 25 April 1995 at Glenview. SSDI exact birth 8 August 1906 matches petition; last residence Northbrook. Completed age at death is 88; SSDI displays 89. Original 1950 census shows married Frank 42, wife Mary 37, son Richard 18 and daughter Phyllis 12. Census age differs from 1906 birth. Original Indiana return documents marriage to Mary Licata on 2 June 1934; an earlier Cook County marriage index reports 27 July 1930. No explanation for two events is established. Children’s maternal links are supported by birth indexes. Original Partanna birth act 279 confirms Francesco born 8 August 1906 at 1 p.m. Mother Felicia Muratore, 24, homemaker, declared the birth on 12 August at 11:03 a.m. Father Saverio Monasteri, 24, farmer, is explicitly her lawful husband. Exact date, parents and locality securely correlate this with Frank; no duplicate profile is added. Source 300.10.058.
