| Notes |
- Upon entering the US for the first time on 09 Jan 1944 via the port of Niagara Falls, NY, Celina and her husband Joseph intended to have a short 3-day honeymoon visit with her father-in-law in Corfu,NY. Celina wasnoted as 5'2" with a dark complexion, brown hair, and brown eyes. She carried $5 with her. The next day, 10 Jan 1944, Celina went back to theimmigration office to state that she wanted to remain in the US indefinitely. All of her info remained the same. She must have then gone backto Canada the next day in order to retrieve her belongings. She again returned to Niagara Falls for border crossing, this time on 21 Jan 1944. She apparently stayed this second time until Sep 1944, as stated by her immigration papers on 12 Jan 1946.Perhaps Sep 1944 was when Joseph shipped out. On 20 Dec 1945, he was honorably discharged from the Army and the next month made the border crossing with Celina. She also stated her intentions at this time to become a USCitizen.
