Census Records sometimes reflect inaccurate information:
Census Records sometimes reflect inaccurate information:
- The 1910 Census shows "Copplo" and "Sadani" as surnames, instead of Coppola and Sodano.
- Inaccuracies can be attributed to the census taker, the person providing the information, language differences, misunderstandings, transcription problems, etc.
- You will also see nicknames such as Dianna for Antonetta and Nellie for Carmella.
- Since it is difficult to read the headers at the top of the record, click See Census Headers to get help with descriptions.

- The 1910 Census shows Antonetta had 5 children with 3 living.
- On this record, you will see Antonetta's Mother, Carmela Sodano, 57, living next door. Carmella Sodano is shown as “Head” of family and listed as married but the record does not include husband, Ferdinando Sodano. Perhaps this means he had returned to Italy before this census was taken in 1910?
