1910 Census Records for Pierce County in Washington State

Greg Boitano

Hello,

I'm trying to locate the 1910 census record for my paternal Great Grandmother, Maria (Mary) Boitano.  Maria was born in Italy and immigrated to the US, arriving in New York on September 3rd, 1908.  She arrived on the SS Prinzess Irene.  She was listed on manifest under the category of alien passengers.  She identified Tacoma, Washington as her destination.

Maria arrived in Pierce County prior to giving birth to her daughter on September 24th 1909.  I have been able to find a copy of the 1920 census which lists Maria as naturalized, however the year of naturalization is not listed.  I'm trying to determine her naturalization status as listed on the 1910 census.  I appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks,

Greg Boitano

    Thank you for your response.

    I would rule out that Mary Boitano based on the fact that she was single and had no children.

    Here's some additional information for my great grandmother Mary Boitano.

    • Mary's maiden name was DeBenedetti.  She was born on June 9, 1875 in Favale, Italy.
    • She married Louie Boitano in Favale, Italy on August 12, 1875.
    • While still living in Italy, Mary gave birth to a daughter (Eugenia) and a son (Angelo)
    • Mary arrived in New York on September 3, 1908.  Her name is included on the list of Alien passengers, and she listed Tacoma as her destination. 
    • Mary arrived in Tacoma prior to giving birth to her Daughter Mary Theresa September 24, 1909.
    • Louie his son's (Angelo) passport application which he applied for while living in Pierce County, Louie lists his residence between 1909 and 1924 as being Tacoma, Washington. 
    • On the 2020 Census, Mary is listed as being naturalized, however the year of naturalization is not listed.  Her residence is listed as McNeil Island, but her street is listed as Fife Road.  I suspect the McNeil Island listing may be in error.   

    Thanks again for your for your help!
