Biography

Rosalia was born in 1891 in Sicly, daughter of Gaspare Zito and Rosa Prima ^[1]. She immigrated as a child to the U.S., along with the rest of her family, probably arriving around 1902 when she was about age 9. She is seen in the 1910 Census as part of her father's household, working as a seamstress in a tailoring shop. The remainder of her life requires more research.
