Holy Guardian Angel, Chicago, baptism register, DGS 004284342 item 3, image 112/130, printed page 219, entry 842: Giovanni Battista Michele Vito Criola, born July 28, 1907 (1907 written as a correction), baptized September 10, 1908; parents Paolo Criola and Angela Valle. Original inspected. The index labels this child female, but the original male name, marriage note and correlated census identify John.

The same entry’s marginal note records marriage with Anna Corso, September 8, 1928, at All Saints (Ecclesia Omnium Sanctorum). This matches the Cook County marriage index for John Criola and Anna Corso. The baptism supports the mother link previously unconfirmed in this profile.
