Quagliana, interesting. Does this name have a meaning in Italian? Like how, for instance, Boccabella means beautiful mouth...

you said just on Maddalena..

I found the possible birth act of Maddalena sister:

Rosa LA PLACA born in Petralia Soprana on 8 Nov. 1889 #305, daughter of Giuseppe La Claca 33 old, farmer and daughter of Grazia Spinoso

Oh wow thank you guys. Now is there a way to translate the birth act? These names are all new to me, I feel bad that I can't confirm Madeline's parents' names.

Yeah, I saw those too. I had gotten Antonio's parents' names from their marriage certificate that was also located on familysearch.org, in which his last name was spelt Belliscio instead of the spelling I am used to. Thank you for showing me these though.

Everything you found thus far has been correct, thank you so much! I believe Vincenzo is from Penne, Italy (that's what I was told/heard).
