Matilde Ragozzino Pappalardo was Gennaro's younger sister who married Emilia's brother, Leopoldo Pappalardo. They emigrated to New York 10 years after the Ragozzinos. Their children and Gennaro's children were "double-cousins," meaning they were related both maternally and paternally. The Pappalardos must have had a close relationship with the Ragozzinos. It is unknown if there were other children but there likely were since the oldest known child was born when Matilde was 28. Leopoldo emigrated with any older children in 1913, the year Luigi was born. Matilde joined him with Teresa and Luigi in 1914. It is unknown why the four middle children didn't join the family until 1920. They list Gennaro's sister Giuseppa as their closest relative in Italy. She must have been their caretaker for those six years. Giuseppe and Salvatore's names are inscribed on the Wall of Honor at Ellis Island, panel 330. |
