Camille was called Emily in all the records I have found except the 1900 U.S. Census. In the 1900 Census she was at the youngest child of James Vincenzo and Salvatora Giunta. Her age is listed as 5, on 11 Jun 1900. The Social Security Death Index indicates her birthday as 11 Oct 1895.
By 1910, James and Salvatora’s family had grown even though Prudenzia and Mary had married and were no longer living in the home. Six additional children were born between the 1900 and 1910 Census. Of those six, three died.
With the household dealing with births and deaths, Emily was sent to live with her Uncle John and Aunt Prudentia Giunta Amadeo. The 1910 Census shows 14-
Julia Studlo writes of Emily’s change of household, “Prudentia Amadeo I’m sure is the aunt that they gave Aunt Emily to because she couldn’t have children. I think she’s grandpa’s (James Vincenzo) sister.”
Ancestry.com, Illinois, Deaths and Stillbirths Index 1916-1947, notes Prudentia Amadeo’s death and other information shows she is the daughter of Angelo “Santo” Giunta or Ganta , she was born about 1868 and was married to “Jack”
This photo shows Emily with Prudentia and John Amadeo on the day of her 1st Holy Communion.
