Childhood and Family

Charlie was born on May 29, 1917 in Brooklyn, New York to Giuseppe Ilvento and Maria Bolletieri. Right after he was born, his family moved to Jersey City and his father put Jersey City on his birth certificate, not Brooklyn. Coincidentally, John F Kennedy was born on the same day in Brookline, Massachusetts. Charlie had two brothers, Joseph and Peter, two sisters, Mary and Faye, one half sister, Grace, four step-sisters, Geraldine and Lucy Norcia, and Eileen and Mary Walsh, and three step-brothers, Michael Norcia and Antonio and Angelo Dios. His family was a handfull. His step-siblings were not yet born until later in the 1930s and 40s.
