Having lived for merely a decade most of which was in Sicily, young Giuseppe has a miniscule paper trail follwing his life.

We do know that he was the youngest child born to his Mother and Father. Giuseppe had three older Sisters and a single elder Brother... Sisters Antonina (Lived to be 90), Rosina (Lived to be 97), and Maria ( Lived to be 105), and a Brother, Antonio (Lived to be 87)

Records indicate that Giuseppe arrived at Ellis Island in the New York Harbor from Palermo in 1910 before the family settles in Tampa, Florida.

Tomasino Patriarch Carmelo supports his family in the field of Masonry.

On May 12th, 1915 little Giuseppe, just 10 years old would lose his life. ( I will share his death certificate in the comments below but the doctor's handwriting, not surprisingly is a bit challenging to read although I think he passed away from the effects of diphtheria )

Tomasino Patriarch Carlo would pass away on April 14th, 1928 at the age of 69. Matriarch Carmela leaves her family to mourn her loss the day after Christmas on December 26th, 1949. She was 84
