Notes
a. Note:   Emilia's two sisters: Madalena never married; was disabled & walked with a limp.
 Regina's husband was killed in WW II. The sisters lived together after that:
 Sra Regina Di Ciacco Filignano Via Lagani Verrecchia, Isernia 86074 (Source: Joseph Janetta) Notes from Beverly Startt Genetta's memories of things Filomena Janetta DiMeo told her:
 During the years Cosemo was a "bird of passage," traveling back and forth between Italy and the US, Emilia raised the children - a new one, she said, every time Cosemo paid a visit home - and managed the farm. As Cosemo continued to send her money, they bought additional land to enlarge their farm.
 Emilia was a tiny woman, barely five feet tall, but she could be tough. Farm boundaries were dry walls - rocks piled along the property line - and one of the Iannettas' neighbors, knowing Emilia was a woman alone and believing her defenseless, began gradually moving the wall between their properties to enlarge his land. The first several times this happened Emilia had the rocks put back in place. The last time, catching the neighbor in the act, she emerged from her house with a shotgun and stood over him while he put the rocks back. It never happened again.
 As the children grew older Emilia wearied of living in Italy with only an occasional visit from her husband [see notes under Cosemo]. After Cosemo had broken his promise to either take her to America or settle permanently in Italy several times, she threatened to leave him and go home to her family. This precipitated her emigration to the US, with all of her children except Joseph, who was in the army and came later. They arrived on January 20, 1920. Her young son Antonio had contracted pneumonia on the voyage and died shortly after their arrival.
