Her birth date on her tombstone lists 1880 as year of birth but death certificate lists 1879. Paul J. Caito (b. 1953 - great-grandson) remembers Anna Sansone Caito (b. 1897 - daughter) as saying 1880 was the year of her mother's birth on many occasions. The info on the death certificate was supplied by Joseph Sansone (d. 1975 - great-nephew) who was probably less likely to know the year of birth than Anna or Paul.

10-07-1998: Death certificate of Antonina Sansone in 1910 (daughter) lists mother's name as "Providenza," not Salvatrice or Bertha. 1930 Buffalo City directory lists the wife of Joseph Sansone of 108 Sycamore, as "Salvatrice." The name of Bertha was used on the death certificate of her husband in 1951 (on file). The name "Salvatrice" was used on her Funeral Holy card and the name was supplied to the Funeral home by Joseph Sansone (d. 1975 - great-nephew). The names she used throughout her life appear to change from Providenza to Salvatrice to Bertha.
