First:   You might want to check your records of August and Septemeber of 2006   (I 
have notes showing those dates that you sent -- of
information of Rodia family, coming to USA - that you found on Ancestry.com  (not Ellis 
Island) There is quite a bit regarding Rodia (s)
 
I took time and located my birth certificate (actually a post card):  shows I lived at:  
2529 Sartain Street, Philadephia PA at time of birth.
(The post card shows: 'Certificate of Birth'---Hospital of the woman's Medical College, 
of Penna.  2121 North College Ave.)  Note:  I was
born at home, not hospital.
 
Baptism record:   Church of St. Nicholas of Tolentino, 1716 South 9th Street  
Philadelphia PA.  Name:  Giovanna Zappone.  Godparents
Matteo and Lucia Masucci  From: Baptismal Record Vol:  Vlll  page 87    Rev. 
Oleoloriti
 
(special note:  on some papers the name Rodia is spelled:  Rudia --- which I am sure 
in not correct   This spelling Rudia is shown on a
copy of Certification of Birth that I had sent for in April 1970.   I now can see the 
error:  On the post card of my birth, the name is incorrect
and shows as Rudia)
 
ALSO:   I have my parents' marriage (original) certificate.............No: 376758   church: 
 Our Lady of the (can't make out rest of name)

Rev: Thomas Barra. D.D.  (minister of the gospel)
    church address:  2031 West toranto Street,  Philadelphia  Pa.
[I cannot find such a church, and Barra does not appear to be a RC priest]
