You are looking for the death record for Antoniette Spano Fransco. She was born in Italy and immigrated to the United States. She lived and died in Massachusetts. She was born in 1904 and died in the early 1950s. She was married and had several children. She is found in the 1930 and 1940 census records. There is also a record of her immigration. However, there is no record of her parents. You are hoping that a death record will list the name of her parents. | |||
::2) The research process says to start with the most recent information, so you will want to look for her death certificate. Hopefully that will have her parent’s names. It is usually easier to find records in the United States than other countries | ::2) The research process says to start with the most recent information, so you will want to look for her death certificate.
