Notes
per immigration record of his brother Antonio, he is already in Philadelphia
Serino, Italy, Birth Register, FHL microfilm 1660372 (record 134, research by Melanie 
D. Holtz, CG)
NY Passenger Lists on ancestry, arrived 16 Apr 1903 on the Palatia, going to father 
Gaetano Rodia on South St., in Phila.
Serino, Italy, Birth Register, FHL microfilm 1660372

I cannot find a match for him in the Serino records; Ottaviano De Biase, "I Rodia" 
(2021) has him as son of Gaetano Rodia and Teresa Rodia, whereas
Ill Deaths and Stillbirths on ancestry says his father is Domenico
so I will use Ottaviano's conclusion  though I wonder why his father was reported to 
be Domenico on his death certificate
note that his birth is give as 13 or 15 Oct 1887 in ancestry family trees and his death 
certificate but in Serino he was born 28 Jul 1886
1930 in Chicago, Ill. truck dealer
ww1 draft reg, says b 22 Nov 1879, wife Antonia, he is employed by Ill. Central

There is confusion, as on the Wolk tree on myheritage, Frank A, Rody, born 29 July 
1886 in Serino is married to Agatha Montrevino, daughter Helen Rody married to 
Edward Wolk, son Edward born 1949. Penna death cert of Frank A Rody, gives 
father's name as Joseph, "no record" of mother's name, died 16 Jun 1954 in 
Philadelphia. Informant Teresa D Rody. His occupation barber. Naturalization petition 
in 1901, not married at that time
Al Newman fam tree on ancestry has a list of children with Agatha born from 1912 to 
1925, so if the Francesco born 28 Jul 1886 is him, then who is the Francesco that 
married Antonia Cirino? Al Newman tree says he is the son of John Rody born 1856 
and Coccette Rody born 1860. I cannot find anyone that fits. the Rody Fam tree 
shows his father as Joseph
