email to Mom 18 June 2014:
OK, it took some guessing but your godparents are Matteo and Lucia 
Masucci. They lived at 2612 E. Norris St. in Philadelphia. They were 
there in 1917 when he filled out his WW1 draft registration and again 
in 1942 when he filled out his WW2 draft registration.
He arrived in 1903, giving his occupation as shoemaker. His town of 
origin? Serino, Italy.
According to "Jason's Family Tree" he was born 30 May 1881 in Serino, 
and his wifes name was Lucia Mariconda, born in 1885. No parents are 
provided for him, and for her, all it gives is her mother's name, 
Mariangela. No last name.
Luci had a brother Domenico Mariconda and a sister Angela Mariconda. 
The Maricondas were from, yes, Serino.
In the census records, he appears as a barber.
In his naturalization application, we get this information:
Occupation barber.
Born in Serino, Rivottoli, Italy [the same place your uncle Peter gives 
as his birthplace on his application for naturalization]

Matteo and Lucia also had a child Edith, who died on Jun 10, 1919, age 
5 months. She died from bronchopneumonia. And according to the Phila 
Birth Records, they also had a daughter Giuseppina M. Masucci born 23 
Oct 105.
So how do they relate to your Rodia family?
procession, along with Carmine Rodia, Lina Selvitelli, Antonio Capuano, 
and your godfather Matteo Masucci
When Matteo arrived, accompanying him is Nicola Martino, also a 
shoemaker, also born in Serino. Matteo is going to his brother in law's 
house, Aniello Cerino. Nicola is going to his cousin's house, Alfonso 
Rodia. Aniello and Alfonso both live at 914 South St.
with Angelo DeDonato, Antoniella Martino, Pellegrino Agnes, and Lina 
Verderame. 
A Mass card was presented by Aniello Cerino.
More proof they are connected. More proof your mother had an extensive 
family.
More later!
