Hello mmgno,
I have a question. Who was "formerly married" Melchior or Frances?
Is Frances living or deceased at time of Melchior's marriage in your thoughts.

Thank you so much. it gives me a lot more info.
I will notate my tree.

Melchiorre’s parents, Gerolamo de Giovanna and Francesca de Maijo, were married at the time of his birth. By the time Melchiorre got married, Gerolamo had died, but Francesca was still alive.

Antonio Saladino and Leonarda Mangiaracina were married on 23 September 1640 in Corleone.
Antonio was the son of the late Paolo and Giulia Saladino, who were married in this town.
Leonarda was the daughter of Mastro Francesco and Francesca Mangiaracina, who were married in this town.

Hello mmgno Thank you for your help BUT I am confused
Why do I look in sambuca marriage records for a marriage in corleone.should it say sambuca.?
Also timeliness seems strange if melchoor's parents were married in 1640 and melchior was married 1678 with a birth date approx of 1658. 18 yrs after marriage

[mmogno]

I'm sorry. It was my mistake; the wedding was in Sambuca, not Corleone.

Hello mmgno,
Thanks for responding.
I have found that there are many repetitive names.
Although the names seem to fit I am still confused timewise. I have Melchior with approx birth 1658 based on his marriage in 1678. whereas his parents were married in 1640. I thought 15 years was the usual range of childbearing. Any suggestions on how i might obtain more clarity. I have not been able to find Melchior's birth record.
Thanks much
Linda

Hello,
it is indicated below that melchior's parents were married in 1640 yet melchior got married in 1678.
i am not able to find his birth.
i would have guessed 1658 for birth but that would be a wide range after marriage to have a child.
Should i research all the way back to 1641 for his birth and guess that he may have married a 2nd time?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Best,
Linda
