Mother’s name misspelled

Her name should be Annunziata, not Annunciata. She was born in Italy. Annunciata is not correct in Italian (or any other language).Lauretano (talk) 17:45, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Find sources to support your corrected spelling - the source given spells it with a C. Names were frequently anglicized or just plain changed on arrival for immigrants, so what is linguistically correct doesn't necessarily translate to real life.

And so forth. There are many other sources. Italian wiki got it right. Lauretano (talk) 05:24, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Find us some English sources - Italian sources may have inadvertently corrected what they might have perceived as a misspelling. Ideally, we would cite writing by Pelosi herself, who would be in a position to know if the spelling is correct, or whether an immigration officer changed the spelling when she arrived. Other sources might be contemporary Baltimore papers.Acroterion (talk) 13:13, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not the author of this article; it doesn't reflect on me whether it is accurate or not. Italian wiki got it right.Lauretano (talk) 16:24, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I expect this to sway you, but here is the record of her arrival at Ellis Island. I trust you consider EllisIsland.org an "English source"? https://www.libertyellisfoundation.org/passenger-details/czoxMjoiMTAwOTM1MDMwMDk3Ijs=/czo4OiJtYW5pZmVzdCI7 Lauretano (talk) 16:29, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And here is her obituary and tombstone, with a C [1] Acroterion (talk) 01:56, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mother's birthplace incorrect

According to this source, in English, she was born in 1909 in Fornelli, not Campobasso: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/50263873/annunciata-m_-d_alesandro Fornelli is also given in the Ellis Island entry from 1912, also in English. https://www.libertyellisfoundation.org/passenger-details/czoxMjoiMTAwOTM1MDMwMDk3Ijs=/czo4OiJtYW5pZmVzdCI7 Lauretano (talk) 20:36, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

N.B. Note that these are both American sources, highly reliable, and in the English language. Elsewhere in Wikipedia Fornelli is given correctly.Lauretano (talk) 19:51, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And per what I posted above (and what you found, the same thing), you are correct about Fornelli, which is near Campobasso, at least. I think we can find a way to incorporate that. It's clear, though, that she used Annunciata rather than Annunziata, unless the Baltimore Sun and her grave marker are both wrong. Please keep in mind that in genealogy, spellings can change wildly over time, at least outside of Italy. Acroterion (talk) 01:58, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Under Pelosi's leadership, the House of Representatives impeached President Donald Trump in December 2019.

Starting impeachment hearings isn't as significant as actually impeaching.
