I haven't been able to find any Detato births in the Mass VR to 1910. I have tried alternate spellings, first name's only, and all of Middlesex County. I haven't found any immigration for Antonio and Antonia, either. I did find them in Wilmington in 1910 on Chestnut St.; indexed on Ancestry.com as "Clatalio", but it must be them: Antonio (it looks more like "Clatatio" to me, but could be Datatio???) gives immigration year 1903. He was a laborer in a Rug Factory. Antonia gives immigration year as 1906. Children in 1910 are Alberto, age 8 b Italy; Jennie age 3 b. Mass; Beatrice age 2 b. Mass; and Lenore age 4 months b. Mass. I also found Antonio's WWI Draft Registration, on that the name is spelled "Ditato"...I will email that to you. I will keep trying the Mass VR's; but I don't have much to help you with what happened to Jennie after 1920. I am wondering what Jennie is short for...in Italian it would probably be Giovannina or Giovanna. Perhaps you should try looking for a naturalization record for Antonio. This could be found at the National Archives in Waltham, MA; and would include much personal information, including children's names, marriage info; and usually a photo of the person...if he became naturalized. I am not sure, but you may be able to get someone there to search for a fee...their website is: http://www.archives.gov/northeast/boston/index.html I wish you luck... Lisa
