Filomena Cofrancesco, who apparently married Virgilio Pacelli sometime after her initial immigration in 1902 and listed her home in Italy as S. Salvatore Telesino, re-entered the US at Boston, Massachusetts on December 27, 1917
aboard the Canopic from Naples with six children, all born in the US.
They were Amalia Pacelli (1918), Gabriele Pacelli (1913), Giuliana Pacelli (1910), Luigi
Pacelli (1905), Maria Pacelli (1908), and Rosina (1915). Her destination was her

Maria Giovanna Riccio from S. Salvatore Telesino was born in 1886. She entered the US at Boston, Massachusetts on January 5, 1920 aboard the Cretic from Naples with her daughter Giovannina Cofrancesco (1915). Their destination was her husband Carlo Cofrancesco at 1817 W. 8th St. Wilmington, Delaware.
Nunzia from Massa di Faicchio, born in 1894, arrived at Ellis Island on July 3, 1920 aboard the Regina d’Italia from Naples. She was the daughter of Alfonso Cofrancesco, who now lived in Italy and her destination was the home of her brother-in-law Virgilio Pacelli at 113 Linton St. Wilmington, Delaware. (It is believed that Alfonso made more than one trip between Italy and Wilmington, Delaware, that his wife Carmela never left Italy, and that he died there.)
