The Families of Acri, Italy

In 1902.¹⁹²¹

Raffaele, Francesca and family emigrated to Acri, Cosenza, Calabria, Italy sometime during the first three months of 1909.^{1777, 1776}

Francesca worked as a Contadina (Peasant Farmer) on 04 Apr 1909 at Acri, Cosenza, Calabria, Italia.¹⁹¹⁸

She and husband Raffaele Sposato resided at Contrada Chimento, Acri, Cosenza, Calabria, Italia on 04 Apr 1909.¹⁹¹⁸

Raffaele Sposato and family sailed aboard the S.S. Canopic from Napoli, Napoli, Campania, Italy on 05 Mar 1910, arriving at Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States on 17 Mar 1910.¹⁹²⁰

Francesca Romano was born in Italy about 1882. Her exact date of birth is only listed on Find-A-Grave (listing 13 Apr 1882) and that is unsourced. If correct, there is an Anna Francesca Romano born in Acri on 13 Apr 1882 to parents Angelo Romano and Filomena Altomari. It is possible even likely that Anna Francesca and Francesca are the same person but has not been satisfactorily proven.^{1920, 1937}

When Raffaele and Francesca returned to the United States from Acri, Cosenza, Calabria, Italy in 1910, they stayed with Frank Chiodi at 44 Pierce Street, Westerly, Washington, Rhode Island. It is possible but unproven that Frank Chiodi was married to Nunziata Romano who had a younger sister named Anna Francesca Romano born 13 Apr 1882.¹⁹²⁰
