| Additional Info: |
While my wife was discussing the contents of the 1920 Detroit, Michigan census with my mother, she happened
to mention an entry at the bottom of the census for a Sanseverino. My Mother immediately mentioned that
she had heard that name mentioned in the family before. A careful review of the names revealed that this
entry was the enumeration for Dominick Serino and his wife Josephine with their 4 children. It appears
that the name was originally Sanseverino and was changed to Serino at a later time.
While doing research in the Toronto Research Library of the Toronto city directories, a search of all
occupants on Centre Ave in 1912 revealed a Dominick Serino residing at 90 Centre Ave. Dominick was listed
as a Teamster. It is interesting to note that Joseph Pombiere was listed as living at 143 Centre at the
same time, and prior to this Joseph lived at 113 Centre Ave from at least 1909 (date of marriage) until
1911 (city directory).
From the 1920 Detroit, MI census, it was revealed that the first 3 children of Dominick Serino and Josephine
Argent, were born in Canada. This information ties in with the observation of the Dominick Serino in the
1912 Toronto city directory. Due to the children’s ages, this would put Dominick and Josephine in Toronto
at least between the years of 1909 up to some part of 1915. The 1920 Detroit census indicates that they
immigrated into the U.S. from Canada in 1915.
I should point out that while the obit was posted in a Detroit newspaper and the funeral services were held
in Michigan, this obit does not mention where Josephone was living at the time of death and at the present
time I have not found a confirmed city or state death record for Josephine. |
