[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her parents are shown as James Scavella and Mary Dramis, both born in Italy. Informant was Angelo Tocci of Creekside, PA. Her occupation was listed as Retired housekeeper.

She was living with her son, Angelo, and his family (along with her 42 year old son James) in Creekside, PA at the time of the 1910 Federal Census. She was shown as born in Italy, with both her parents also born in Italy, all who spoke Italian as their native tongue. She was listed as widowed, and the mother of two children, both still living. More children are linked to her on Family Search, so this should be verified through primary sources.
