Where are the parents' names Salvatore and Santa coming from?

Another user on ancestry.com has her as a child of Pasquale Latona & Giuseppa Gennuso of Valledolmo but I'm not seeing a birth for her here either. The births for 1885 are not completely indexed but I just checked the rest of the year page-by-page and she's not there. The couple does have a suspicious gap in their children between 1883 - 1887 but it doesn't seem to be someone that was registered in Valledolmo if they had a kid in 1885ish.

Looking at the blurry obituary again I could be convinced that the first letter is an N or an M, just to add some options.

For what its worth, there is a long list of Ellis Island immigrants named Riscili from Vicari.

I don't know if this information is already available,

This Find-A-Grave link connects to the burials of Paolina and Joseph, as well as their 8 children. The clear origin for both is "Vicari, Città Metropolitana di Palermo, Sicilia, Italy". It seems to indicate that they were married in 1905.

Perhaps some document search (marriage, death certificate) in the USA will provide additional data. I don't have time to work on this right now, I'll check back in a few days.

OK, just one more document, and have fun puzzling this out!!

Naturalization for Joseph Riscili - these four children align with those shown at the Find-A-Grave site.

Good luck!!

Oops! My bad, I must retract my previous post. Children do NOT align as I said. That's what happens when working too late!! Should have quit while I was ahead.
