Open questions touching these claims
Where and exactly when was Assunta Fantini Facchinello born, who were her parents, and is her maiden name Fantini or (as one obituary transcription spells it) Fantin?
- Status
- open
- Next action
- Order Assunta's 1970 Colorado death certificate (Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, vital records index) for her birth date, birthplace, parents' names and the exact death date (6 vs 15 August 1970, conflict:assunta-fantini:death-date), then follow it into the Italian civil registration for the named comune. Two leads to test, not to enter: the spouse form “Assunta Fantin” in Primo's obituary transcription, and the 1950 census entry “naturalized: No”, which means she may have her own later naturalization or alien-registration file; the 1921 Logan County marriage record (FamilySearch Colorado county marriages, sign-in, or a Colorado State Archives request) would spell the maiden name.

Was Ray's sister's given name Lee, and where does the workbook's “Leta” come from? No opened source — her obituary, Ray's obituary, her Find a Grave memorial — uses “Leta” (Joan's obituary does not mention her); all spell her “Lee”.

Conflicts touching these claims
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).

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.
