Julia was born today, June 18th, 1909. She was the sister to my grandfather Frank Civitano.
Today I remember and celebrate her birthday.
Both Julia and Frank were born in New York City to Vincenzo Civitano and Nicoletta Marvulli. Just 4 months after Julia was born, her father Vincenzo was murdered, stabbed in the streets of the city over what was believed a ‘ice route’ dispute.

In this photo Frank and Julia (late teens or very early 20’s) are attendants in a wedding party. If any family members knows who wedding this might have been, has a wedding photo to match Julia’s dress, we would love to hear from you.

I am still hoping you will someday learn more about that murder. Poor Julia, growing up without her father.

I was actually thinking about Julia not having her father. I’m not sure that had really registered for me up until now.
