Quagliata in Palermo
Quagliata in Palermo
I am looking for information on the Quagliata family in Palermo, Sicily. It is quite possibly in the city itself, but I am not sure. The line that I am from starts with Sebastiano Quagliata and Cristina (maiden name unknown) before 1700. Their son Giacomo married in Castellammare del Golfo twice in 1702. I assume he was born in the 1670s, definitely in the Provincia of Palermo, possibly the city. I don't know about any siblings Giacomo had. Any help is worth it!

Hello. My Great-Grandfather, Mario Quagliata, was born about 1843 in Forza D'Agro. Mario's parents’ names were Carmelo Quagliata (1781?-18??) and Rosa Pagano (1808?-18??). Mario died sometime after 1900. Mario was married twice and both marriages produced children. Mario's first wife died around 1868. Mario married his second wife, Maria Christina Barcellona (1850?-19??), in 1875, in Catenanuova, Sicily. Maria's parents were Pietro Barcellona (18??-18??) and Paola Congati (18??-18??), but we're not sure if Maria's family was from Catenanuova. It's possible she was part of the Barcellona family from the area of Termini Imerese. After Mario remarried, he stayed in the Mt. Etna area for a while. Mario and Maria had 12 children, six of which we know were born in Catenanuova - Rosa (1872-1874), Carmelo (1874-1881), Pietro (1876), Giovanni (1878), Rosa (1881), and Carmelo (1883). Giuseppe's (1885) birth place is unknown and Angelo's (1887) is listed as Catania on his marriage certificate. After a time, Mario and Maria moved to the northwest, in the Palermo area, where it is thought Mario and Maria lived in Castellammare Del Golfo for a time and then eventually moved to Termini Imerese.
