parentage questioned as Gaetano in the U.S.
Antonio and Francesco, along with a sister Rosa b 1893, are in 1920 Phila census.
arrived in 1913 with a Maria Rodia age 27 (b 1886) who has a son Antonio Rosaria, 
her mother is Orsola. Is she the WIFE of Antonio or the WIFE of Francesco, with a 
child from a previous marriage? On further examination of the record and its not so 
good handwriting, Rodia is her maiden name and her husband is Angelo Rosario. 
Francesco is brother of Antonio and already is in Philadelphia at that address that 
begins 1629 (cannot read, begins with P)
Antonio might be the Louis Anthony Rodia Jr. who married Amelia Rodio (no, because 
birthdate doesn't match)

birth rec has language that, as explained by Melanie, "denounce the birth and state 
the civil official's belief that the child was not the legitimate child of Gaetano Rodia 
because he was living and working in America for quite some time. However, in the 
eyes of the law, the child would be considered his because the mother was married to 
him at the time of the birth. These notations could be used as evidence later when it 
came to inheritance." (email from Melanie D. Holtz, CG, 17 Nov 2014) [my reading isn't 
that it was a denouncement but an explanation of why the father wasn't reporting the 
birth]
