We have not had much luck with Google Books on this side of the world either, so I hope this works. It appears that we in Aust and New Zealand dont necessarily get access to the same information as people in the USA as I found when looking for e-books of my great great grandmothers writings.

Beatrice Williams -James Vincent Piacenti (1901-?) m. Catherine Horrigan -Mary Rose Piacenti (1904-1975) m. Frank Pagano -Russario J Piacenti (1906-1976) m. ? -Charles E Piacenti (1913-1963) m. Josephine Zullo -Edward M Piacenti (1917-2010) m. Marie Frances Piacenti In 1930, Vincent and Rose were living at 321 Foster Avenue, Schenectady, NY with their two youngest children, Carl (Charles) and Edward. http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=1930usfedcen&h=46093057&indiv=try In 1930, their 2nd oldest son, Vincent (James Vincent), was living next door at 319 Foster Avenue, Schenectady, with his wife Katherine and 3 children, Vincent, Marian, and Edward. Name variations I've seen for Piacenti: Piacente, Picenti, Percente, Percenti, Peacenti. (*note: there are a few Vincent Piacentis around the same age as Vincenzo (1870) also in NY; even a Vincent (1887) & Rose (1895) Piacenti living in Brooklyn, NY in 1930. And a few younger Vincents belonging to different families.) WHY can I not find census records for Vincenzo and Rosalia Piacenti or their children before 1930? As you can see, there is no doubt they were in New York by 1900! Now, I DID find a 1926 city directory listing Vincent J at his 1930 address, 321 Foster Avenue, but that's it. You'd think I'd also be able to find (and verify) a draft registration for Vincent or any of his sons, but no. :/ Please be forewarned if you decide to help...you may get a headache! ;) Thanks for any leads!

As for the military hospital...I doubt her birth cert. (long-form) will show anything but I am waiting until they are open to the public. Her birth reg. was delayed in 1915. Her birth card says she was born 14 AUG 1914 yet...her baptismal says born 14 AUG 1915 and bap. 29 AUG 1915. YIKES!!! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
