Re: pietro rotulo e brigida tortorici

Mother of groom: Vincenza Vivacqua

In this record surname is Turturici but I believe it’s the same surname as Tortorici.

Bride’s father is deceased. Others are alive

Re: Basilla LoPresti, from Collesano, Sicily-died in New York

I found it. Contrada Volpignano which was one of several Contrada that surrounded the center of Collesano. So that is the location where he died. It was a district or neighborhood of Collesano.

Re: Basilla LoPresti, from Collesano, Sicily-died in New York

The document says “per morte naturale;”it doesn’t say anything about a mountain. He died a natural death. He died in Collesano.

As to what you’re reading as Valsignano, I think the word near it in the document might be Contrada ( deceased in this contrada???) and it may be the name of a street or ...

Re: gratiella birth

@carubia

Re the word parvula, it is used for Maria, the last record on the same side of the page as Gratiella’s baptism record, and once on the right side page for a female infant named Calogera, directly across from Maria’s record. It may be on other pages as well, but I haven’t checked.

Re: gratiella birth

after Gratiella is the word parvula for female child.

After Calafato is the Latin word for spouses, jugalis

The abbreviation is for the mother’s name Calogera which is in her marriage record..

The groom Vincenzo la Lomia-no other details about him

The bride Vincenza -widow of deceased Vincenzo Gizzuni (Gizzoni is the common ...
