I have a death certificate for Steven Victor Para, died 1942 in Tennessee. Listed on it as his parents are Kiacoma Para and Chiarlone Maria di Steffano. I know that they immigrated from Italy aroun 1880, but I can't find any other information on them. I have managed to find that their "Americanized" names were Jacob and Mary. We know that their last name was shortened or changed, but from what? I dunno...
The family was living in Memphis, Tennessee. I know what happened with Steven's children.
Can anyone help?
