Erudita,
Thanks so much but I am very confused about the surname Sardigna i have a different record with the same family with that name. I have never heard of this. Why would they go under an alias? Was this common?

When we think of “alias” in modern times, we think of a criminal using various names in order to avoid being caught by the police. In early church records though, it was common to find individuals who had an alias, or an alternate surname, that that person was also known by in his community. The alias surname may have been a sort of nickname for a particular branch of a family to distinguish it from other branches of a family with the same original surname. So, if you’ve found other records in which one or the other surname is used, but the parents match up, then you can be confident that they belong to the same family.

Off to our granddaughter’s softball game shortly, so that is all for now.

Erudita, Thanks so much for all that information. At least now I know they are the same family. Have a good day.
