Birth date and place

edit

There are conflicting sources for his birth date.

Evidence for 1886 The book Romolo Ferrari e la chitarra in Italia nella prima metà del Novecento says that he was born in 1886 at S. Ferdinando di Puglia. A 1946 news article from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle also reports the 1886 birth date in San Ferdinando di Puglia. That latter article has at least one suspect fact; it says he lived in the United States starting 1912, when immigration documents and newspaper advertisements make it clear he was here earlier.
Evidence for 1881 The 1920 census, the 1940 census , his 1918 registration for the draft, the application for U.S. citizenship and the social security death index point to a birth date of 1881 in Foggia. Also the 1951 copyright book lists his birth date as 1881. And a news clipping from March 1951 talked about his then upcoming 70th birthday, on March 31, 1951. I decided to use 1881 as those documents were ones that he had some involvement with (especially immigration and draft documents).Jacqke (talk) 03:38, 1 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • @Jacqke: Good catch. Where sources differ, you might add a footnote to explain this. For example, see Lynsey de Paul. Note also that I have reviewed your DYK. It seems good to go but more copy-editing is needed. I'll perhaps do some myself when I get a moment but that will have to do for now. Andrew D. (talk) 18:21, 4 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
