Notes

• We don't know who is this Ercole DiZazzo who boarded with, and who disappeared from the American records about the same time as, Alessandro DiZazzo. He might be the Ercole who married Palma DiZazzo the daughter of Alessandro DiZazzo; that Ercole survived Palma DiZazzo (who died in 1948 in Rocca d'Evandro) and remarried and had a daughter Palmina.
