Her entire life was dedicated to having children and making lace!
In 1892, she arrived in New York at the age of 13 according to Ellis Island records, and lived in New York city until she married...
She married her husband twice! First at the New York City hall on August 13, 1896 and then again at the Church of Madonna on October 4, 1896. She was 17 when she married her husband, Domenico Pasquale Giammaria and started to have children. Their first son, Sarafino was born in 1897 and died in 1899. Her first daughter, Maria Palma (Aunt Mary) was born in 1900. She went on to give birth to six more children - Filomena (Aunt Flo), Guiseppe (Uncle Joe), Rosina (Aunt Rose), Elena Luisetta (my maternal grandma Helen), Assunta (Aunt Sue), and Alberto (Uncle Al). Therefore, she was having babies between 1897 and 1920.
