sources 1910 fed census for his father Bartolo DeLorenzo and family living in Cherry Township,sulivan county, Pennsylvania.Last name spelled de instead of Di but family members are correct and my dad Joseph Dilorenzo remembered that they lived in Pennsylvania. A copy of this census is in his images.

The family lived in Bernice, Cherry township,Pensylvania(census record 1910),where Bartolo worked in the coal mines.At some point Antonia's brother,Salvatore Randazzo died in the coal mine and the family moved to Rochester,ny before 1912.Joe went to school,but quit at 12 years of age to help the family.He worked in a shoe factory and later became a waiter and bartender.He enjoyed that job so much that he retired finally at 80 to care for his wife,Audrey.They were married for 61 years.

Joe was born in Grotte,Sicily on March 10,1903.When he needed proof of his age,his birth was listed officially as April 3,1903.Probably the date it was registered or he might have been baptized on April 3.We always celebrated his birthday on March 10.He arrived in New york city on Feb.7,1909 on the ship,San Giorgio with his mother ,Antonia and his brothers Charley and Tony.(Ellis island records)His father,Bartolo had come here in 1905,worked and saved money so his family could come too. this took him 4 years...
