Re: Phignora.
Thank you for your explanation, Cleveland Kent Evans! I personally think the 'Signora' possibility seems most likely, because it wouldn't have been the first time for this kind of mistake to have happened in the United States. Most Americans aren't that familiar with foreign customs or words (and certainly not in the early 20th century - hence the many registration mistakes at Ellis Island), so I can certainly envision that particular scenario. :)Anyway, thank you again and enjoy the rest of your day! :D
