The story

This story follows the people, places and turns the records can support. The notes beneath each passage show where it comes from; an unresolved lead stays marked as a lead.

Where the Lines Meet

Every family story has a place where its lines meet. In this one, the family record names Michael Facchinello as Rick Facchinello’s son and Katherine Frisby’s son. Rick’s parents, Ray and Joan Facchinello, appear in their children’s obituaries.

Ray and Joan, and the Colorado Years

Raymond Aldo “Ray” Facchinello was born in Padroni, Colorado, on 7 February 1930, the youngest son of Primo and Assunta. Joan Fleenor Facchinello was born in Evanston, Illinois, on 15 January 1934. Their lives came together in Colorado: they married in Aurora on 30 March 1951, under an Arapahoe County licence. Ray died in Littleton on 28 December 2015; Joan died in Fort Collins on 28 December 2025. Ray’s siblings were Lee, Mary and Pete.

Joan's Parents

Joan’s story leads back to Paul T. Fleenor and Emily (Symons) Fleenor, recorded as a couple. Emily died on 17 July 1975 and was buried at Littleton Cemetery. Find a Grave gives her birth as 17 September 1915, and gives Paul’s birth as 1913 and his death as 12 December 1990.

Three Siblings, Three Paths

Ray’s siblings carried the family through three different Colorado stories. Lee Facchinello Vosler, also recorded by the family as Leta, was born in Iliff on 14 December 1922 and died in Littleton on 3 May 2016. Peter Duilio “Pete” Facchinello was born in Sterling on 3 December 1925 and died on 21 March 1999; the 1950 census records him as Primo’s son, while sibling statements name Assunta as his mother. Mary Facchinello Gillen appears among Primo and Assunta’s children in her siblings’ obituaries; Find a Grave gives her birth as 13 May 1924 and her death as 3 September 2012 in Phoenix.

Primo and Assunta

Behind those children stand Primo Bernardo Facchinello and Assunta. The naturalization index places Primo’s birth in Italy on 18 October 1894; he died on 17 September 1980 and is buried in Littleton Cemetery. Assunta was born in Italy in 1904, though her birthplace and parents remain unknown. Her maiden name appears as Fantini in family records and Fantin in an obituary transcription. She died in August 1970—the interment ledger says 6 August, while one obituary transcription says the 15th—and is buried beside Primo. The 1950 census and interment ledger record them as husband and wife.

The Trail Back to Italy

The trail back to Italy is real, but it fades quickly. Obituaries of Primo’s brothers name Pietro Facchinello and Maria Battocchio as their parents, which points to them as Primo’s parents; no birth record has been read. Transcriptions remember a village as “Caussoni, Musslenti”, consistent with Casoni di Mussolente in Vicenza, but the records establish only Italy as Primo’s birthplace. Everything above Pietro is a compiled reconstruction waiting for parish records.

Crossing the Atlantic

A transcribed obituary says Primo came to the United States about 1913 and married Assunta in 1921. The paper trail becomes firmer later: his naturalization papers were filed in Jefferson County District Court in 1943–1944, and the 1950 census recorded him as a citizen.

From Sterling to Littleton

The family’s Colorado years began in Logan County: Lee in Iliff, Ray in Padroni and Pete in Sterling; Find a Grave places Mary’s birth somewhere in Colorado. At some point in the mid-1930s, the family moved from the Sterling area to Littleton. Ray’s and Lee’s obituaries say 1934; Primo’s says 1936, so the exact move remains inferred. On 1 April 1950, the census found Primo, Assunta, Pete and Raymond together in an Arapahoe County farm household. Later, Littleton became the family’s place of memory: Ray died there in 2015, Lee in 2016, and Primo, Assunta and Emily Fleenor were buried at Littleton Cemetery.

Excluded (5 conflicts)

Readings the records do not accept as facts: the rejected side of each conflict, and the alternates still open.

  • Primo's Italian civil birth and San Rocco baptism support December 18, 1894, while the Colorado naturalization index gives October 18, 1894. December is accepted because two near-contemporary Italian record series agree; October remains visible until the original U.S. naturalization papers are reconciled. (deferred)
  • Joan's mother is recorded as Emily Symons Fleenor (her obituary) and as “Emily Roberts” (a workbook variant). (resolved; rejected: Emily Roberts)
  • Assunta Facchinello's death is dated 6 Aug 1970 by the Littleton interment-ledger extract (tier 2) and her Find a Grave memorial page, but “Aug. 15, 1970” by the unattributed 1980 obituary transcription on Primo's memorial (tier 3). The accepted claim carries August 6, 1970 at `supported`; the 15 August reading is held unaccepted (T-RES-004: deferred, not refuted; the death certificate decides). (open)
  • The family's move from the Sterling farm to Littleton is dated 1934 by Ray's and Lee's obituaries (tier 2) and 1936 by Primo's obituary transcription (tier 3). The accepted migration leg carries the range 1934–1936; the two candidate years are held unaccepted (T-RES-004: deferred, neither refuted). The 1940 census (which asks for residence in 1935) or Littleton school records would settle it. (open)
  • The Colorado naturalization index lists a 1943 petition-and-declaration file and a 1944 index card for Primo Bernardo Facchinello in the District Court, Jefferson County; FamilySearch separately indexes June 4, 1941. These may be different filing, oath, or indexing stages. The accepted claim keeps the 1943–1944 range used by the DPL file references, while 1941, 1943 and 1944 remain unaccepted candidates until the originals are reconciled. (open)

Map and lifespans

Drawn only from this line’s own claims: 45 public dated events for 11 people, 26 of them naming a normalized place. 2 living relatives on this line are outside this scope entirely, as in the chronology: no living person appears on a map or a timeline. Every point, leg and row keeps the status of the claim behind it — inferred marks are dashed, and a mark resting only on an unchecked compiled family tree is tagged “compiled tree” — and prints or links that claim ID. The table under each figure carries the same information in words.

This line’s figures have a page of their own: 16 places with public coordinates, 10 movement legs and 11 dated lifespans, at full size with the evidence legend and a detail frame. They are not redrawn here.

Chronology

Every public dated event for the people in this chapter, earliest first, with its evidence status and the claim it rests on. A “compiled tree” tag marks a row whose best source is someone’s family tree that nobody has checked against a record, whatever its status badge says. Living relatives have no entries here.
