Re: Looking for info on the RISCILI family of Vicari, Sicily

Hi

Just wondering if you ever found out any additional info on Giorgio's death?

I found a marriage record for Vincenza Raimondi and Antonino Calato on 2 Jun 1918 in Vicari. That would have created the step-brother relationship with Phillip.

I also found a death record for Vincenza in Vicari. She ...

Re: Riscili / Raimondi from Vicari

A final thank you and update.

I did find a marriage record for Vincenza Raimondi and Antonino Calato. They married in Vicari on 2 June 1928 meaning the Giorgio must have passed away prior to that date. I still haven't found a death record for him in the US, but I will continue my search.

Re: Latona from Campofelice

Still haven't been able to find a Latona that matches my Pauline. If I step back, knowing that she and the family were from the Province of Palermo, is there any other way of searching for the family name or do I have to go through town by town?

The town from the blurry obituary looks like it ...

Re: Info on Michelangelo Ferro marriage

Thanks Tessa,

I read the marriage index incorrectly. But the 1887 date fit the birth of their first child in 1888.

I thought Barrafranca because that was where Alessandra was born. Since I didn't find the record in Vicari, that was my next logical choice.

But I could not find the detail related ...

Info on Michelangelo Ferro marriage

Greetings!

I am trying to find some information about Michelangelo Ferro. I have found his birth and death records in Vicari, Palermo, Sicily (1859 - 1931)

He was married to Alessandra Tambe, who died in 1914. I believe that they were married in 1887 in Barrafranca, Sicily. However, I don't know ...

Re: Riscili / Raimondi from Vicari

Just a follow up for those who helped me.

It's taken a while, but I finally had a breakthrough. I found that Vincenza Raimondi actually passed away in 1944 in Vicari. She ended up marrying Antonino Calato somewhere along the line.

I am looking for their marriage record, as I figure it will shed ...

Hi Folks,

Wondering if anyone else is researching the Riscili family from Vicari. I keep hitting roadblocks and would be happy to collaborate.

I've had some great help here and lately had a major breakthrough thanks to Tessa78.

Re: Looking for Francesca Cavarretta

Thanks, Tessa!

It's like putting together a puzzle and finding pieces that were hidden in the box.

I'm trying to look at the older records from your links and have found a few other names that I was unaware of in the Riscili family.

Looking for Francesca Cavarretta

Hi folks!

Thanks to some brilliant detective work by Tessa78, I found some much needed information on my 5th great grandfather. However, it caused me to re-work my research.

I'm now looking for information regarding Francesca Cavarretta. She was married to Giuseppe Riscili around 1846. They had ...

Re: Looking for Sebastiana LoBue

Tessa,

I'm going to open a new subject to separate things out. I had Giuseppe Riscili married to Francesca Cavarretta probably about 1846. I showed that there were four children: Francesco, Salvatore, Giorgio and Francesca.

Giuseppe being married to Lucia Esposita threw my tree off completely. I'm ...

Re: Looking for Sebastiana LoBue

Wow! Lot's of info to absorb and lay out. Thanks, Tessa!

I knew the following facts: Rosolino & Sebastiana had at least two children - Giuseppe and Antonino. I have a birthdate of Dec 31, 1922 for Giuseppe, but was confused by a birthdate of 1952 for Antonino. His 1907 death record said he was 55 ...
