Monreale marriage

[cj11788]

Hello,

The below link and attachment is the 1634 Monreale marriage of Benedetto Fabiano and Caterina Ribando. I see where Benedetto is from but I don't understand where Caterina is from. It looks like she is from Monreale, but all the others words after her parents are difficult to read.

Thanks

Chris

Thanks again Erudita. Literally they came from all over to go to the big cities back then.

Hi Chris -should be dei before Greci. On my kindle and not my laptop and it constantly changes my spelling. Happy to help.

Hi Erudita,

I'm curious. I see that Benedetto and his parents; Augostino and Caterina Fabiano are from Piana dei Greci but what words after Caterina and her parents, Pietro and Antonia Ribando mention she is a widow and from Piana dei Greci.

Were you referring to Caterina Fabiano?

Thanks

Chris

Chris-sorry but I originally misread the record. Both spouses are widowed. Benedetto is a widower from Genoa but living in Piana dei Greci. Caterina Ribando is also a widow. The name of her deceased husband is in the record. His first name Giovanni written as Gianni in the Record. I can't decipher his last name but he was from Monreale. Erudita

The word viduo and vidua for widower/widow. There's another word after vidua which I can't decipher.

Caterina Ribando is the widow of Domenico di Giovanni.

Yes Domenico is the first name of Caterina's previous spouse. They were married Aug 23, 1632 #50. His last name appears as Gianni in that record. Matrimoni 1621 to 1640 image 270 of 427. Same parish.
