Lillie (Lillian) Onesto Cozzi

31 October 2026 — Exact-date correlation: [[evidence:WEB-20261031-120442-60f8b8c9|Lillian Cozzi death and Social Security indexes]]. Cook County entry 87023225 names father Onesto, mother Archangele and other person Leroy R. Cozzi, matching the saved Onesto/Cozzi family; birth 7 April 1904 Illinois, death 27 April 1987 Des Plaines. SSDI agrees on birthday and April 1987 death. This resolves the census-based birth estimate. The certificate itself requires center/affiliate access and was not inspected. Original records cited below remain the basis for relationships. Separate 1926/1929 marriage question is preserved; this does not resolve it. Burial month April 1987 is supplied but no burial day inferred.

Earlier research retained: Date/source review, October30,2026: original Lake County marriage register proves Tony Cozzi/Lillian Onesto married June12,1926, with return filed July1. This supersedes the earlier original-not-inspected limitation below. Cook County birth indexes name both parents for Anthony bornJanuary4,1928 and Leroy bornOctober4,1929; their originals remain restricted, and parental exact birthdates remain unknown. A separate Cook marriage index reports March2,1929; retain as unresolved rather than inventing second-ceremony history.
