Caterina

If anyone can share any information about Grandma, that would be very helpful. I am looking to find how she found her way to St. Louis. I have little to no information at this time.

Caterina came to America sometime in May 1911 and her and Vincenzo were married 2 months later.

Grandma was naturalized on March 20, 1943.

Grandma worked in the garment factory for years. I kind of understand that she worked there for a long time, but I have no definitive time frame for when this happened or how long she worked.
I believe that she worked there while raising her family.


If anyone has any info about this please let me know so I can update accordingly.
