Betsy Ross?[edit]

Is it really correct to include Betsy Ross in the list of “notable residents”, when she didn't reside in Yeadon until after she was dead? I don't think this is what “residents” normally means. —Mark Dominus (talk) 16:59, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If no one objects, I will remove Betsy Ross. —Mark Dominus (talk) 10:33, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did this; I also removed H. H. Holmes for the same reason. —Mark Dominus (talk) 15:54, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Language[edit]

This Italian-American paper article here

Tecce, Tanya (2023-10-26). "Italians in America – Our Immigrant Stories: In this family, bound by tradition, the profession of barbering spans generations". The Delaware Valley Italian-American Herald.

... stated that the Sicilian language was still spoken in Yeadon in the 1970s and 1980s:

"[...]born and raised in South Philadelphia and then migrated, as many Italian Americans did at that time, to Yeadon, Pa."
"Fluent Italian in the Sicilian dialect was one of the languages of the home and thankfully, there were a lot of Italian Americans in Yeadon who spoke it as well at that time."
"Mom Mary Ann still speaks Italian, although there aren’t neighbors now to speak with. But in the 1970s and 1980s, there were many neighbors committed to keeping their dialect alive."

If there's a more academic source and/or the Philadelphia Inquirer talks about this, I'd love to add it. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:38, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
